Has anyone ever made an adapter so you can use SKS strippers to load AK mags?
Works fine for me, too. It takes practice. They are not as smooth as AR stripper clips.
My thinking also. As inexpensive and durable as AK milsurp mags are, I'd rather have a box full of Hungarian 20-rounders (or 30's, if you prefer) to hold the ammo, than have a box full of loaded stripper clips and just a few magazines. More convenient at the range and less work overall.unless your ammo comes on stripper clips when you buy it, I don't see the point of loading the clips to then load AK mags
When you own both an AK and an SKS, it is awful handy storing your ammo in this manner.....and it is still faster than hand-loading the mags.Me too, but unless your ammo comes on stripper clips when you buy it, I don't see the point of loading the clips to then load AK mags.
I had a couple of cases of Chinese surplus ammo that came on stripper clips, the tool came in handy compared to removing the rounds from the clips to then stuff into AK mags, but I used most of this ammo in my SKS.
For the SKS its worth putting loose ammo into stripper clips as they generally work a lot better than any of the aftermarket detachable SKS magazines.
The best SKS strippers I've used were European of some make (Yugo maybe) and parkerized.
