Where to buy the GOOD sks stripper clips?

You won't be disappointed, those rock and are Czech surplus (I think).

They ARE Czech surplus.
They DO rock.
But they aren't technically SKS clips.

So far as I know, the Czechs never used the SKS.
They adopted the VZ52, a tactical equivalent to the SKS, and later the VZ58 which looks a little like an AK, but is actually a totally different weapon based on a short recoil gas system.
Unlike an AK, it's 30 round magazines can be reloaded via stripper clips while the magazine is in the weapon.

So the BXN strippers are actually made for the VZ52 or VZ58, not the SKS.

Some people complain that they're a little too wide to work well in an SKS.

They work better in both of my 59/66's than the Yugoslavian clips unless I clean up the Yugo clips with a steel brush before use. After cleaning the Yugo clips up, they insert into the guides a little easier, but the Czech clips seem faster and smoother when actually stripping rounds into the magazine.

Overall, I'd say performance is about equal, except that the Czech clips (at least the ones I got) didn't require any clean-up before use.

On my Yugo and Nori SKS rifles, the BXN clips work wonderfully. They slip into the stripper clip slot perfectly and are not too wide at all. They strip off sooooo smooth, and with a flick of the thumb they pop right out after pushing down the last round into the magazine. AMAZING clips, and worth the higher cost vs. the others.

I just received my order of 20 strippers from Ultimategear with no markings. After cleaning I tried loading them and bullets wont slip in smoothly. The thing is also too wide to even go into the bolt guide. Its junk and useless. Mine are similar to these,

The Chicom chest rig i got was nice though. I will call tomorrow to return these strippers . The old ones i have with Made in China marking s on the back worked perfectly well . I may have to find some BNX or Yugo on Ebay.

USGI SKS/AK Stripper Clips!

I don't know anything about these clips other than what's said on the website selling them, but they're supposedly US production SKS stripper clips from the later years of the Vietnam War.

From the Fred's M14 Stocks Website:
SKS/AK 10-rd Stripper Clips, Unissued,
10 for $20! Genuine US GI!
These came out of the gov GI ammo demil program of a few years back, just two 40mm cans of 'em, so quantity is limited.
I suspect these are related to the 20-rd boxes of 7.62 X 39 labled "AK Ammo" which was manufactured back in 1970 or so by Uncle Sam. Strange stuff, but good quality stuff!

I've never bought any SKS stripper clips from Fred's, but I've gotten a lot of other stuff from him over the years and I've never been disappointed.

His shipping is occasionally a little slow (he spends a lot of time on the Appleseed Project), but his product descriptions are accurate and his condition grading is as honest as anyplace I've ever dealt with.

I have 500 rounds of 7.62x39 on original surplus stripper clips and 15 or 20 extra surplus clips that worked flawlessly in my Russian sks.
Unfortunately, I sold my sks a few months ago to get into 300blk and so now am stuck with those rounds and clips.
I will either get another sks or sell the lot. It's a conundrum.

I just got some BXN 60 Czech made and they work perfectly with my Chicom sks. Yeah, stay away from the Ncstar stripper clips. Those are not military surplus grade...
