Know the difference between a clip and a mag: a mag holds ammunition and feeds it into the gun’s action, a stripper clip is used to hold ammunition and is used to charge the mag but cannot be used as a magazine itself. The price of these new manufactured AK/SKS stripper clips is hard to beat. Designed for 7.62x39mm these SKS stripper clips can naturally be used to hold ammo for AK rifles as well. Add a couple to your range bag, it will only cost a few dollars, and will save you time loading at the range.
