TACFUN 10PCS Clips Packs

Good product. Had one clip that was defective but they are cheap enough I really don’t care. Company sent nice packaging and even a complimentary pen. They come coated in some kind of oil to prevent rust which is nice as well. The ones that do work are built to what appears to be Soviet spec and fit and function very well. Very easy to load and load into my sks. Will be buying again once I buy more 7.62

I would like to say, these SKS stripper clips are the real deal no factor. My main thing getting this package is I was seriously in dire need of a pen. Searching all over the unit like what's going on. Opened up my package, BOOM tacfun pen. That was awesome.

I read many other reviews about customers having to do final fitment of their clips after purchase, but I did not experience much sloppy fit and finish. The fitment of two out of the 10 clips were lose to the point where the last round would just fall out under gravity. I simply used my chanlocks to roll the crimp at the lose end in a very tiny amount (VERY tiny, probably 0.005 inch) and the problem was solved. The clips had not been cleaned after the finish was applied during manufacturing though, so there was a fair amount of extra finishing compound mixed with oil. I wiped each clip down with CLP to clean that up in order to prevent that weird oxide-oil mixture from getting into my breach.I tested each clip after reading the harsh reviews, and they were all very smooth. This will likely get even smoother with use as the brass wears in the clips. I managed to not jam my thumb up once while practicing "speed loading" with clips. The dimensions of the clips are essentially perfect as well. They all fit snugly in the track on the bolt face and they all held 10 rounds of 7.62x39 very well. If you start juggling these clips or really fling them around, you will probably lose rounds, so just don't do that. Your clips should go from a pouch to your breach, and they did that fine. I suspect some of the very harsh reviews were the result of people REALLY flinging the clips around and expecting the rounds to all stay in. Let's be real, these are SKS clips, not PMAGs.Also the manufacturer included a little bottle opener for free in the package, which was nice (full disclosure).

I have been reloading my SKS by hand. I recently came across an old mil-surp stripper clip preloaded with 10 copper washed rounds. I decided to order more clips for ease of reloading. These are what I tried.PROS- Great price, even with shipping included. For less than the cost of two of the preloaded clips, I received these delivered to my door.- Brand new and lightly coated to prevent corrosion.- Good tension on the "arms" inside the clip to prevent rounds from falling out.CONS- The metal "seems" slightly thinner than my old mil-surp clip. I don't have a micrometer to confirm and it may just be that the mil-surp has a rougher finish than these do.- One of the clips would not accept rounds.- I have not used these yet so I cannot speak to their durabilityOverall, I am satisfied with the purchase. It will simplify my reloading needs at a lower cost than my local sources for these clips.

Fits 7.62 great, not so much .308 Too tight to make it practical for .308

These clips will only work if you partially load them. Often times the clip will slip and release the bolt release. This occurs after you push roughly five rounds into the rifle. Sometimes the bullets will come lose and pop out of the clips. They only work for me if I load five rounds on each clip. I have tested it on a yugo and multiple Russian SKSs and have the problem consistently. I have never once been able to load all ten rounds without it tripping the slide release and jamming. I have tried multiple different brands of 7.62x39 ammo and the results are the same each time. I have even tried the Mosin trip of bending the ammo slightly back and it does feed better this way but it still trips the release.

Highly recommend just as good as the originals for our SKS

OK, here is my 2 cents worth. Background -- I have stripper clips I have used for years on my SKS. While they usually work OK, sometimes they don't feed very smoothly. Maybe its just me, but in general they don't seem to be the easiest thing in the world to use. That's maybe why no rifles use these anymore.Now as to TACFUN Clips. The ones I received seem to be a little loose in the middle and tighter on the ends. I did not have any rounds fall off. They did seem to be harder to push into the magazine then my existing clips and did not always feed smoothly. With a little persistence I was able to get all of them to work. I feel that if I got the ends to be just slightly more loose, they would probably work better. Maybe someone who is stronger than I am would be able to push harder and have more success.Enough people gave them decent ratings, so they can't be all that bad.As to the oil or whatever it is, it wipes off easily. It is probably on there from the manufacturing process.
