@Triangle26 but are they good clips? 🤔 I just wasted 20$ on Amazon clips 😂 damn things literally locked my sks up, had to take the thing apart to fix it.
Vz.58 guy here. It's incredibly difficult to load a Vz mag with any clip other than a BXN clip, you're almost guaranteed to unlock the bolt if you put too much pressure on the bolt carrier. The only disadvantage is the rounds can come loose in your pouch more easily than others, but it makes perfect sense that their clips grip the rounds weaker so you don't have to mash on them so much, and the weaker grip doesn't matter much since you're just using the clips to load mags during range practice anyway, unlike with an SKS.
That makes a lot of sense. I have definitely noticed that BXN clips are more prone to occasionally losing a round in my pouches than other clips. In my opinion, that's a small price to pay for incredibly slick loading though. I'd rather load 9 rounds quickly than 10 rounds slowly!
I just wanted to say thank you for all you do for this community. Your wealth of knowledge is impressive! The time you take to share this knowledge is vary well appreciated. Again Thank You! Oh, I just purchased my first SKS! It a 1969 arsenal 26. I know this because of you! It was by far the most loaded up cosmoline, dirt fill, black looking rifle Ive ever cleaned up (I collect and conserve milsurps) and I'm really thinking of getting another one. I've always loved the SKS carbine. Just wish I could afford the other variants. Anyways, Thanks!
Nothing wrong with that! I like loading by hand sometimes too. Slows everything down, makes me feel like I am getting my money's worth out of every cartridge! Thanks for watching and commenting friend!
Thanks again! I will definitely be ordering some from ya! You have been a wealth of information, man! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your passion informed experience. There is no better kind! 🙏🏽
#BXNSARETHEBEST I'm an old guy who bought my SKS "back in the day." Of course, these were pre-internet times and I just bought whatever stripper clips I could find at gun shows, pawnshops, etc. Plenty of circle 31's in the bunch and I found a few faulty ones. However, with a little sanding, filing, and bending, they were all made to work okay. Just took a little time and patience. Back then, imported 7.62x39 was cheap and available, and I blasted away tons of it. Nowadays, it just sits in my "Rainy Day" ammo boxes. I've even got some hollow points. When's the last time you've seen those?
@@kellywelch3 You just reminded me of all those Norinco soft-points in the yellow boxes I pissed away back in the 1990's. How was I supposed to know they would become unavailable someday?
Just so all you new collectors know there are milsurp gems still out there to be found. Dont get discouraged. I recently picked up a full span can of chinese military surplus mid 60s 7.62x39 with original factory 31 clip for .25c a round. I keep seeing new collectors says they cant find good deals on surplus but it is out there. The nc star stripper clips are junk. I got a small batch from a shop for free and the channel for yhe cartridge rim was too deep causing the rounds to tilt very slightly and bind. They can be fixed by building a jig to slide the clip over a bend the lip inward. On the other hand I have seen them be too tight. Just avoid them if you can. Sorry for the rant.
Im loving your channel man, I just bought a 79 french tickler variant that was still caked in cosmoline on the same day you posted your tickler variant video! and the guy threw in an ammo can full of stripper clips. Ive watched all your videos so far and am very pleased with how informative you are and how much I’ve been able to learn from you! Keep it up! Love your channel, I’m gonna go sort these clips now
I didn't know VZ58 stripper clips work for SKS. I have had SKS's for almost 30yrs. I have had them molded and bone stock surplus. The one I have now is a non-parts machine Norinco so I molded it yrs ago . Current setup is Choate Conventional stock and gas tube cover, vintage Norinco ambi safety(as a lefty I really appreciate), and a 20 rd Chinese Star mag. I still have all surplus parts. I really enjoy running this setup with a Chinese SKS chest rig . I enjoy your channel as I recently discovered it.
There are definitely a LOT of junk repro clips on the market. However, one thing I have learned that made a world of difference with both the surplus and the repro clips that I have is using a pin punch to manually adjust the spring tension on the clips. If the spring tension is too tight, the clips will not feed completely and usually bind on the fifth or sixth round. If the spring is crimped to retain the ammo, the problem is more likely to occur as opposed to clips that are smooth on the end, such as the Yugo surplus clips. Bending the springs just a bit to lessen the tension solved this issue and even the repro clips I have are acceptable. This won't work if repro clips are out of tolerance and require modification just to mate with the clip bracket on the bolt carrier, but the binding issue is readily resolved with just a moment of work.
wish I had seen this when I bought my Yugo M59/66A1, as I ended up buying a pack of 20 NCSTAR clips, which I use even with my AKM loadout via an adapter tool that I got from a small company making em to order via 3d printing. some of the clips work ok, but the others are either way too tight and lock up, or way too loose causing the rounds too flop around and slide down in a zig zag pattern often causing jams, and usually I lose one round when pulling em out of of the pouch. I got em to work if I guided the rounds manually from the bottom 2 or 3 at a time but this was tedious, so for a while I gave up on em in favor of single loading loose rounds, until I learned about the "tilt the top round up" trick, as that made even the real tight ones marginally more usable.
@larrybodyfelt9380 10 minutes ago #BXNSARETHEBEST Awesome giveaway and an AWESOME Channel. Thats for sharing and spreading all the SKS love. Opps! I fat-fingered the HashTag. My apologies.
Nice! I'm a Cdn, most of my surplus x39 has been Czech BXN. I've been asked for my clips when I go to the range by other shooters. As the Czech BXN stuff is harder and harder to find the answer is NO. A friend may get some, but now I'm clipping Chinesiums ammo. They are definitely worth getting and holding onto.
Thanks for this video. I just got a couple orders from ebay, and one was the Vietnam era 31 stamped that work great, and the others were cheaper, but I noticed they have more curvature to them, which kinda bunches all the rounds together. Sooo, took them to a steel welders table, and gave them a couple of good smacks with a rubber mallet...have yet to test them in the field tho. Where are your clips listed ? I would be interested, thanks. Workhorse Sir !
Unfortunately I am sold out at the moment - this video increased my business way more than I was prepared for. I do intend to get a restock, but there is no way of knowing when that will be.
I bought 20 from Amazon last year after I got my SKS. About half of them work okay. I just recently got some surplus Yugo M67 on stripper clips, and you are correct, it's like night and day.
I believe it is *HOW YOU USE THE CLIPS that is more significant* than the clips you have. Just my opinion based on my own experience. I have what I believe to be the CIRCLE 31 repros, and also Yugoslavian surplus unmarked clips that the ammo came on from the can (1980). The YUGO ammo is brass cased (M67). When loading my SKS there is no discernible differences of the function of the clips, and they both work great. However, when I push the rounds into the mag I lift on the tip of the top round and push at the base of the casing so that the top round is used to push the rounds underneath RIGHT AT THE POINT OF FRICTION, where the casing meets the clip. This way all of my force is in line with the resistance, which means no wasted force. I have never had any difficulty loading my SKS with these clips in this manner. At minimum, the Circle 31 clips should give me problems, according to common knowledge. Yet, I have no such problems.
At the end of the day, there’s no arguing with performance. If the clips work for you, that’s all that matters. I agree that good technique is important, as you describe. That said, my experience has been that some clips are consistently very forgiving, and others absolutely refuse to cooperate.
@@Triangle26 - I've only had experience with these two clips, and that is why I mentioned this is only my own opinion based on my experience. I have no doubt you have much more experience with a variety of clips than I do. If only pressing down in the middle of the cartridge with the thumb then I would expect differences between clips to be more apparent. I found a video right when I got my Type 56 that demonstrated the loading method I outlined. As a Journeyman Toolmaker it really appealed to me and made sense to load the rounds that way, and I've never done it any other way.
Well, just checked and my stock runs mostly BXN, and then Russian. I do have 1 or 2 CCK versions. (Cheap Chinese Knickoffs). I will save these to hand out to my AR friends after I flawlessly load my SKS a few times. Good video.
I just bought 36 surplus chinese stripper clips, they say 31 like the examples you showed. Not the Amazon special ones. They work just fine, no need to pinch the top round. Coincidentally, I fired my 10 mil series Sino-Albanian SKS three days ago, most to test a Barska receiver mount. It worked fine, I just need to figure out what optic I want to put on. Struggling between an 3.5 x 30 prism optic vs an LVPO 1-4.
Awesome. The “legit” 31’s are good to go. Both repeatable optic choices, I would probably find myself leaning more towards the fixed 3.5 power. The SKS is complemented by simplicity.
I just need links to your site so I can get some of those clips. Love your channel by the way, very informative and has been a wealth of information for me. Thanks for putting in the work.
#BXNSARETHEBEST Heyo just got my Tri26, first 7.62 rifle I've owned but certainly won't be the last! Love the cartridge. Beautiful gun regardless of whether it's "out of date" in comparison to modern firearms. Incredibly fun and satisfying to shoot/load. I just have a genuine love for old guns from the 30's to mid 70's though so I'm a little biased lol Hadn't picked up any clips yet since honestly didn't think the ones on Amazon would be very good and hadn't sat down and looked for quality ones until now. Cheers for the transparency on the fact that you sell the clips, seems more genuine and experienced of a review for it! Here's hoping I luck out and snag some of those giveaway clips! Pray for me fellow acolytes of bubba
I was dragged into the SKS world by my chinese buddy. No info, just practically made me buy one at bayonet point. Then I got some junk clips that I spend hours sanding, and tweaking, just to get an unsatisfactory performance, but functional. Then by dumb luck the next purchase of clips worked pretty well. Now I have to dig them all out to identify them.
Excellent presentation, /26\. As a regular P2P seller of Chinese and Russian SKS's (thru my local -01) I always included five BXN stripper clips in the deal; along with the 'lift the top round' as a best practice when punching in the rounds. Why? ---> This extra step (plus my SKS 101 for newbies) demonstrably added to the a) buyer's overall satisfaction with the purchase, b) his/her shooting experience and c) a 100% A+ referral grade. After the "SMO" kicked off I had to discontinue adding the BXN clips as part of the deal. My supplier and his business partner out of Odessa have since moved over to another line of work. Although I still have more packs of BXN clips than I need, now that I know you're a reliable source for genuine BXN clips, I'll be sure to include this tip in my P2P sales chatter.
That's smart business. I do a fair bit of P2P myself, and while that thought never crossed my mind, I immediately recognize the value of that. As always, thanks for watching friend!
Seen some guys turn the gun upside down, pop open the magazine, and dump in the rounds. I was wondering what your opinion is of this method. Thanks for your channel!
Great question! I call that "Krag" loading, as it is vaguely reminiscent of how the old Krag-Jorgensen rifles were loaded (before charging strips were the global standard). From a recreational shooter's perspective, I think it's a perfectly legitimate way to load. It works, it's fun, and it isn't going to hurt anything. If that's how people want to do it, more power to them. From a more military orientation, there is a big efficiency problem. The SKS is designed with a last round hold-open, whereas "krag loading" requires the bolt to be forward. As a rule of thumb, a loading methodology should take into consideration the status of the weapon at the time in which ammunition is most urgently needed. There are other problems, but I think that's the big one.
I feel lucky to have experience with other BXN clips that are very choice, which are the 5 round 7.62x45 clips. I don't think I have any BXN x39 clips though. Hope I can change that! #BXNSARETHEBEST
#BXNSARETHEBEST Nice presentation. Now I want to look through my old pile of clips that don't work and my smaller pile that work well. The crappy ones are going into the scrap metal bin after this. Thanks!
A followup with some observations. I got the BXN clips and they are the best, like butter.Thanks! Embarrassingly, I'd never noticed some of my old clips had stamping on them. My truly crap clips are unstamped. Like some other posters, my "nearly as nice as BXN" clips are all stamped with circle 31.
I've had 2 Chinese SKS's and love them, however my second SKS will not load with stripper clips. The rounds bind up at the tip of the round, as if the rounds are too long to pass. I can load single rounds by holding back the bolt. If I try loading with the bolt held back on its own, as soon as the round starts past the lock, the bolt releases and jams my fingers and the round. The first one works both ways. Thoughts? Love your content.
hey! love the content!! i just found your channel while i was shopping for an SKS. i ended up with a chinese 1971 model according to your method of dating these rifles. it seems to be in good condition. minus the removal of the original 10rd mag. i had to go buy another chinese 10 rd to undo the mod. the peices though are more than i thought.. and that lead me to the thought of... with all the mods out there... why hasnt anyone just started making aftermarket remakes of the og 10 round non-detatchable mags?? maybe they have them but i havent seen them.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Versions of your question come up a lot, which is why aftermarket producers don't sell competitively priced reproductions of hard-to-find military parts. The short answer, as best as I understand it, has to do with economy of scale. Stamped steel components like a fixed 10-round magazine are inexpensive to manufacture, *if you already have* the specific tooling, specs, and other production infrastructure. If you are starting from scratch, the startup costs are enormous. Not many companies are in a position to put down the type of money required to start production of that type of a product, and those that are will devote those resources to products with larger markets.
kinda funny you just posted this i literally just ordered 3 dozen stripper clips with a few crates of Chinese surplus 7.62x39. i hope they work decent, too bad you couldn't ship to Canada i would of much rather bought the stripper clips from you. Another great video man!
Thanks friend! Any clips that come pre-loaded with Chinese ammo should be good to go. It’s the silliest thing that I can’t ship to Canada. God forbid that *highly sensitive* 19th century military technology be shared with our closest ally 🤦♂️
If your crates come with spam cans of 550 rds each, then likely they're already packed on stripper clips. That surplus Chinese stuff is hard to come by now and expensive too (last time I checked).👍
@@Triangle26 sadly the 750 round cans i got aren't on stripper clips but i couldn't say no to them they where on sale for $200 per can. if they stripper clips i got don't work great im going to pick up a can of Chinese surplus on stripper clips so i can get more of them, theres tons of chinese surplus ammo coming into Canada right now its nice getting some not bad prices for once. if those stipper clips dont work out i will try and find a source in canada for some of the good ones you mentioned in this video. Yeah typical government rules that make 0 sense lol its almost impossible to get anything firearms related shipped up here from the usa.
@@mikhailkalashnikov4599 Yeah i got 750 round cans they where $200 and the 550s where $240 so i got more ammo for cheaper. Theres tons of chinese surplus ammo coming into canada right now. some places have 1500 round crates for $450
Good sir I am getting a Tula 1954 sks in very good condition with matching numbers and no refurbishing. That info is important to my question. I’d like to get a Chinese 20 round fixed mag that fits the sks. In the info on the sales page does say it fits on all the sks rifles Russian Chinese yugo and such. I wanted to know if you might have an answer for me on this one. I trust your expertise

#BXNSARETHE BEST. I just discovered this channel and I’m very impressed with it. I own two SKS pattern rifles - a 1954 Soviet SKS-45 (all numbers matching) and a Chinese type 56. Both guns I happened across for very reasonable prices and I enjoy all aspects of owning them. Having seen this video and others by Triangle 26, I am even happier to have made those purchases. Many thanks and keep up the good work!!
#BXNSARETHEBEST I have positive experience with Chinese numbered (no circle) clips, but not too much with some grey and matte Russian clips. Some Russian ones look refurbished and do not work even close to their Yugo counterparts.
Did you stop selling these clips on eBay? I didn’t see any by the name in the screenshot. But there were a couple other people. Or did you change your eBay account name? Thanks!
Unfortunately I ran out of stock - the video bumped up demand more than I was prepared for. I may restock at some point, but that can take a while. That said, a few other guys on eBay have the same product at a similar price!
#BXBNSARETHEBEST As someone who had minor luck on the amazon clips, I am now wondering if even those don't work as well as some could. I have at least one actual Chinese stripper clip (just a 386 on the back) and the rest seem to be some combination of commerical types. I have a few that are labled CTC that seem to work OK. the "(31) " clips I ended up with were still packed in some sort of cosmoline, and I had to clean them up, but the first pack I got seemed to work well most of the time. Still, I've got some new scars on my thumb knuckle from some of them. I might need to order some from you anyway!
My rule of thumb (a heavily scarred thumb, ha!), is that quality clips should fully charge the weapon in two distinct motions. The inset video at 2:48 shows this pretty well. The first 8-9 rounds should flow in pretty effortlessly, but it is normal in my experience for the final 1-2 rounds to require a second gentle push. There should be no catching or binding beyond these two motions, and (within reason) one should not need to be especially precise in these movements. If this is not what you are experiencing, you can reasonably expect better performance from other clips. I have never injured myself using a BXN clip, and I have really jacked up my hands using other products. If you ever want to give them a try, you know where to find me!
#BXNSARETHEBEST I have a few Czech clips and they sure look and feel different than the cheapo ones I got on Amzn, which I haven't used much. I have a surplus of surplus Mauser ammo clips, though.
Sir, if someday in the future you write a book about SKS, I'll definitely buy one. In China, we don't have detailed info, book, or any other chanel that we can acquire indepth SKS knowledge. Luckly, I touched an SKS rifle from our military instructor during University Entrance military trainning but never fire a single shot🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
I personally wish I would have know you sold quality stripper clips before I bought some NC-STAR stripper clips because I absolutely love your videos and would have loved to help sponsor your channel by buying them, that being said I have not had any issues with the ones I bought and do find it enjoyable to load my sks with stripper clips.
Thanks all the same friend! I'm glad the clips you have are working properly. It seems to me that some of these "brand name" clips must be sourced in different batches, because some people swear they have no problems, and other times they are a total nightmare.

Are the Russian clips particularly rare? I have a dozen or so I got from my lsg. I prefer the BXN ones myself but I keep them so my collection has the correct clips
I wouldn’t describe them as rare, but there is definitely a tighter supply. They are always available, but they tend to sell at a bit of a premium. I definitely see them as more of a collector’s item than a “range bag” clip.
@@Triangle26 I’m glad you made this video because it confirmed a lot of what I had heard elsewhere.

You are telling me… It’s legitimately infuriating. I love my home, and watching it fall apart over the past couple decades has been heartbreaking. Currently negotiating with my lady as to where to go.
Hi, I recently obtained my first Chinese SKS rifle, and I'm trying to get some help in identifying the arsenal code and date of manufacture. The arsenal code appears to be a larger Triangle with a smaller inverted Triangle within it and a 5 within that. To the right of that on the reciever is type 56 Chinese markings, followed by the serial number which begins in 25 and is a seven digit number. There's a import mark to the right of that which reads "SKS 7.62X39 CHINA CAI ST ALB VT" I believe that's century arms import marks. Can anyone help me determine which factory this was made in and when? Many thanks.
Sounds like the factory code is a less common one that I call “6665”. It may actually be 6656, 6566, 5666 etcetera, but the takeaway is that it has 3 stylized 6’s and a standardized 5. Never seen a decoded location for that marking before. 25 date code translates to 1980.
@Triangle26 thank you for your help, I didn't realize these rifles were even made in the 80s. Do you know when military production of SKS's ended? I know they we're being made for the commercial market in the 90s if I recall correctly.
@@ericgeorge5300The distinction between military and commercial production gets complicated in communist countries like China. Officially, the big shift from military to commercial production took place in 1980, exactly when your rifle was made. That said, the “commercial” rifles built during the early and mid-1980’s were literally identical to the “military” rifles that came before them. They literally used their existing military production infrastructure to produce “commercial” firearms. One day the production lines were shipping to the PLA, the next day they were shipping exactly the same product to Norinco for export.
#BXNSARETHEBEST I bought those extact crappy Amazon stripper clips u showcased on the video and they are shit. Came with a bottle opener tho. Now I know where to get the good stuff!
Do you know exactly what SKS varrients will accept BXN stripper clips? KLAYCO47 in his SKS Paratrooper review video shows that Yugo SKS stripper clips do not work in a Chinse SKS.
I haven’t seen that video (I’ll check it out later), but something anomalous is happening. I’ve used hundreds of Yugo clips in dozens of Chinese rifles and never encountered that problem.
I wish, but unfortunately not. As bizarre as it sounds, the US considers 19th century foreign made stripper clips to be “defense and military related technologies” that cannot be shared with our closest ally because that would compromise “national security and foreign policy objectives”. Believe me, I asked.
I'm not sure, so out of an abundance of caution I am abstaining. I'm happy to do so by email (my address is in the description), but no worries either way. Thanks for watching!
Since #BXNSARETHEBEST I want to purchase some from you to replace the “31 in a circle” clips that came from a recent gun show. I haven’t used them (or the “ghost” SKS yet, so I can’t provide feedback. 🙂 I’ll reach out for the purchase - thanks for the enjoyable content.

Anyways, Thanks!
love it , just sorted my stripper clips. Lots of 31 no circle and BXN's and 8 new production !!! Thanks for the info

I'm an old guy who bought my SKS "back in the day." Of course, these were pre-internet times and I just bought whatever stripper clips I could find at gun shows, pawnshops, etc. Plenty of circle 31's in the bunch and I found a few faulty ones. However, with a little sanding, filing, and bending, they were all made to work okay. Just took a little time and patience. Back then, imported 7.62x39 was cheap and available, and I blasted away tons of it. Nowadays, it just sits in my "Rainy Day" ammo boxes. I've even got some hollow points. When's the last time you've seen those?
Same situation with me, but I love shooting my SKS! Still have a couple of hundred rounds of hollow points, and some lead nose too.
@@kellywelch3 You just reminded me of all those Norinco soft-points in the yellow boxes I pissed away back in the 1990's. How was I supposed to know they would become unavailable someday?
@ClickOnProfile107stop scamming people
Just so all you new collectors know there are milsurp gems still out there to be found. Dont get discouraged. I recently picked up a full span can of chinese military surplus mid 60s 7.62x39 with original factory 31 clip for .25c a round. I keep seeing new collectors says they cant find good deals on surplus but it is out there.
The nc star stripper clips are junk. I got a small batch from a shop for free and the channel for yhe cartridge rim was too deep causing the rounds to tilt very slightly and bind. They can be fixed by building a jig to slide the clip over a bend the lip inward. On the other hand I have seen them be too tight. Just avoid them if you can. Sorry for the rant.
Im loving your channel man, I just bought a 79 french tickler variant that was still caked in cosmoline on the same day you posted your tickler variant video! and the guy threw in an ammo can full of stripper clips. Ive watched all your videos so far and am very pleased with how informative you are and how much I’ve been able to learn from you! Keep it up! Love your channel, I’m gonna go sort these clips now
Thanks friend, congrats on the “tickler”. Phenomenal rifles.
I didn't know VZ58 stripper clips work for SKS. I have had SKS's for almost 30yrs. I have had them molded and bone stock surplus. The one I have now is a non-parts machine Norinco so I molded it yrs ago . Current setup is Choate Conventional stock and gas tube cover, vintage Norinco ambi safety(as a lefty I really appreciate), and a 20 rd Chinese Star mag. I still have all surplus parts. I really enjoy running this setup with a Chinese SKS chest rig . I enjoy your channel as I recently discovered it.
Awesome. Thanks for giving the channel a chance, glad you are enjoying it!
Glad I bought bags & bags of Russian & Chinese clips in the 90s. 🤠
You answered ALL of my questions. Thank you for making this video.
Here in Pakistan Khyber pass Darra bazar amunation dealers have SKS military surplus strips, son bought 30 mix strips including BXN and chines.
There are definitely a LOT of junk repro clips on the market. However, one thing I have learned that made a world of difference with both the surplus and the repro clips that I have is using a pin punch to manually adjust the spring tension on the clips. If the spring tension is too tight, the clips will not feed completely and usually bind on the fifth or sixth round. If the spring is crimped to retain the ammo, the problem is more likely to occur as opposed to clips that are smooth on the end, such as the Yugo surplus clips. Bending the springs just a bit to lessen the tension solved this issue and even the repro clips I have are acceptable. This won't work if repro clips are out of tolerance and require modification just to mate with the clip bracket on the bolt carrier, but the binding issue is readily resolved with just a moment of work.
Using a pin punch is clever, I can't say I ever tried that! Thanks for sharing.
@@Triangle26 I tested the clips I adjusted in both a Yugo and an Albanian SKS. It works. :)
Following you after the Reddit debacle. Keep it up! 🤙
I told myself that was a weird dream, thanks for reminding me that happened lol.
You've just made my Yugo and my 1951 Russki very happy!! They get hungry you know!!! Keep up the great work and get some trigger time at the range!!!!
wish I had seen this when I bought my Yugo M59/66A1, as I ended up buying a pack of 20 NCSTAR clips, which I use even with my AKM loadout via an adapter tool that I got from a small company making em to order via 3d printing. some of the clips work ok, but the others are either way too tight and lock up, or way too loose causing the rounds too flop around and slide down in a zig zag pattern often causing jams, and usually I lose one round when pulling em out of of the pouch. I got em to work if I guided the rounds manually from the bottom 2 or 3 at a time but this was tedious, so for a while I gave up on em in favor of single loading loose rounds, until I learned about the "tilt the top round up" trick, as that made even the real tight ones marginally more usable.

#BXNSARETHEBEST Awesome giveaway and an AWESOME Channel. Thats for sharing and spreading all the SKS love. Opps! I fat-fingered the HashTag. My apologies.
#BXNSARETHEBEST
Had no idea there were so many variations on these clips. Now I need to go see what ones I have.
I also have a 79 triangle 26 keep up the good work I’ve followed since your earliest videos
Thanks friend, I sincerely appreciate that!
I’ve got a bunch of Yugo clips but really by accident. From when I purchased a crate of Yugo M67 ammo for my AK’s
Nice! I'm a Cdn, most of my surplus x39 has been Czech BXN. I've been asked for my clips when I go to the range by other shooters. As the Czech BXN stuff is harder and harder to find the answer is NO. A friend may get some, but now I'm clipping Chinesiums ammo. They are definitely worth getting and holding onto.
😢 man i bought 30 of them 10 years ago and cut then all in half for quick reload at the range.
I still beat myself about it lol
i left so many in the bush.... 15 years ago being dumb and young. oooof
Its late now, but ill watch tomorrow from the combine . Ive got about 140 acres of milo to get through . Peace .
Thanks for this video. I just got a couple orders from ebay, and one was the Vietnam era 31 stamped that work great, and the others were cheaper, but I noticed they have more curvature to them, which kinda bunches all the rounds together. Sooo, took them to a steel welders table, and gave them a couple of good smacks with a rubber mallet...have yet to test them in the field tho. Where are your clips listed ? I would be interested, thanks. Workhorse Sir !
Unfortunately I am sold out at the moment - this video increased my business way more than I was prepared for. I do intend to get a restock, but there is no way of knowing when that will be.
I bought 20 from Amazon last year after I got my SKS. About half of them work okay. I just recently got some surplus Yugo M67 on stripper clips, and you are correct, it's like night and day.
The ZTK is the mark of Tula Cartridge plant, I've seen these clips all blued and blued but the inside face of the clip is left in the white.
Great information, thanks!
I believe it is *HOW YOU USE THE CLIPS that is more significant* than the clips you have. Just my opinion based on my own experience. I have what I believe to be the CIRCLE 31 repros, and also Yugoslavian surplus unmarked clips that the ammo came on from the can (1980). The YUGO ammo is brass cased (M67). When loading my SKS there is no discernible differences of the function of the clips, and they both work great. However, when I push the rounds into the mag I lift on the tip of the top round and push at the base of the casing so that the top round is used to push the rounds underneath RIGHT AT THE POINT OF FRICTION, where the casing meets the clip. This way all of my force is in line with the resistance, which means no wasted force. I have never had any difficulty loading my SKS with these clips in this manner. At minimum, the Circle 31 clips should give me problems, according to common knowledge. Yet, I have no such problems.
At the end of the day, there’s no arguing with performance. If the clips work for you, that’s all that matters.
I agree that good technique is important, as you describe. That said, my experience has been that some clips are consistently very forgiving, and others absolutely refuse to cooperate.
Same I've got a bunch of circle 31 clips and they work well
@@Triangle26 - I've only had experience with these two clips, and that is why I mentioned this is only my own opinion based on my experience. I have no doubt you have much more experience with a variety of clips than I do. If only pressing down in the middle of the cartridge with the thumb then I would expect differences between clips to be more apparent.
I found a video right when I got my Type 56 that demonstrated the loading method I outlined. As a Journeyman Toolmaker it really appealed to me and made sense to load the rounds that way, and I've never done it any other way.
Well, just checked and my stock runs mostly BXN, and then Russian. I do have 1 or 2 CCK versions. (Cheap Chinese Knickoffs). I will save these to hand out to my AR friends after I flawlessly load my SKS a few times. Good video.
I just bought 36 surplus chinese stripper clips, they say 31 like the examples you showed. Not the Amazon special ones. They work just fine, no need to pinch the top round. Coincidentally, I fired my 10 mil series Sino-Albanian SKS three days ago, most to test a Barska receiver mount. It worked fine, I just need to figure out what optic I want to put on.
Struggling between an 3.5 x 30 prism optic vs an LVPO 1-4.
Awesome. The “legit” 31’s are good to go.
Both repeatable optic choices, I would probably find myself leaning more towards the fixed 3.5 power. The SKS is complemented by simplicity.
I just need links to your site so I can get some of those clips. Love your channel by the way, very informative and has been a wealth of information for me. Thanks for putting in the work.
I’m cautious to put links on RUclips, but if you reach out on Rumble or shoot me an email I can get you those links!
#BXNSARETHEBEST
Heyo just got my Tri26, first 7.62 rifle I've owned but certainly won't be the last! Love the cartridge.
Beautiful gun regardless of whether it's "out of date" in comparison to modern firearms. Incredibly fun and satisfying to shoot/load.
I just have a genuine love for old guns from the 30's to mid 70's though so I'm a little biased lol
Hadn't picked up any clips yet since honestly didn't think the ones on Amazon would be very good and hadn't sat down and looked for quality ones until now.
Cheers for the transparency on the fact that you sell the clips, seems more genuine and experienced of a review for it!
Here's hoping I luck out and snag some of those giveaway clips! Pray for me fellow acolytes of bubba
i have yugo striper clips,they came allready load with 1o bullets ,4 clips in one box. never had a problem,m67 ammo 40 pcs box
Nice! I’ve had great results with the Yugos as well, they are good to go 👍
Yugos soaked in clp and wiped . Always work well for me.
Have a mess of Yugo in grey phosphate as well as some blued Chinese ones and they all work well.
What I can't find is 5.45 stripper clips.
#BXNSARETHEBEST
Keep up the great content. I hope to see future content on sks pouches.
Good suggestion, thank you!
I was dragged into the SKS world by my chinese buddy. No info, just practically made me buy one at bayonet point. Then I got some junk clips that I spend hours sanding, and tweaking, just to get an unsatisfactory performance, but functional. Then by dumb luck the next purchase of clips worked pretty well. Now I have to dig them all out to identify them.
The stripper clips I ordered came in the day and they work excellent two 👍 👍up
Excellent presentation, /26\.
As a regular P2P seller of Chinese and Russian SKS's (thru my local -01) I always included five BXN stripper clips in the deal; along with the 'lift the top round' as a best practice when punching in the rounds.
Why? ---> This extra step (plus my SKS 101 for newbies) demonstrably added to the a) buyer's overall satisfaction with the purchase, b) his/her shooting experience and c) a 100% A+ referral grade.
After the "SMO" kicked off I had to discontinue adding the BXN clips as part of the deal. My supplier and his business partner out of Odessa have since moved over to another line of work.
Although I still have more packs of BXN clips than I need, now that I know you're a reliable source for genuine BXN clips, I'll be sure to include this tip in my P2P sales chatter.
That's smart business. I do a fair bit of P2P myself, and while that thought never crossed my mind, I immediately recognize the value of that. As always, thanks for watching friend!
@Triangle26 Rgr that!
Seen some guys turn the gun upside down, pop open the magazine, and dump in the rounds. I was wondering what your opinion is of this method. Thanks for your channel!
Great question! I call that "Krag" loading, as it is vaguely reminiscent of how the old Krag-Jorgensen rifles were loaded (before charging strips were the global standard). From a recreational shooter's perspective, I think it's a perfectly legitimate way to load. It works, it's fun, and it isn't going to hurt anything. If that's how people want to do it, more power to them. From a more military orientation, there is a big efficiency problem. The SKS is designed with a last round hold-open, whereas "krag loading" requires the bolt to be forward. As a rule of thumb, a loading methodology should take into consideration the status of the weapon at the time in which ammunition is most urgently needed. There are other problems, but I think that's the big one.
What kind of chestrig/bandolier is that at 3:45?
#BXNARETHEBEST
Excellent informative video. Gonna czeck my stash of stripper clips to sort out what I have.
Czech carefully, take your time, don't go _Russian_ the process. I'll Cz you later
I feel lucky to have experience with other BXN clips that are very choice, which are the 5 round 7.62x45 clips. I don't think I have any BXN x39 clips though. Hope I can change that!
#BXNSARETHEBEST
#BXNSARETHEBEST
Nice presentation. Now I want to look through my old pile of clips that don't work and my smaller pile that work well. The crappy ones are going into the scrap metal bin after this. Thanks!
A followup with some observations. I got the BXN clips and they are the best, like butter.Thanks! Embarrassingly, I'd never noticed some of my old clips had stamping on them. My truly crap clips are unstamped. Like some other posters, my "nearly as nice as BXN" clips are all stamped with circle 31.
I've had 2 Chinese SKS's and love them, however my second SKS will not load with stripper clips. The rounds bind up at the tip of the round, as if the rounds are too long to pass. I can load single rounds by holding back the bolt. If I try loading with the bolt held back on its own, as soon as the round starts past the lock, the bolt releases and jams my fingers and the round. The first one works both ways. Thoughts? Love your content.
hey! love the content!! i just found your channel while i was shopping for an SKS. i ended up with a chinese 1971 model according to your method of dating these rifles. it seems to be in good condition. minus the removal of the original 10rd mag. i had to go buy another chinese 10 rd to undo the mod. the peices though are more than i thought.. and that lead me to the thought of... with all the mods out there... why hasnt anyone just started making aftermarket remakes of the og 10 round non-detatchable mags?? maybe they have them but i havent seen them.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Versions of your question come up a lot, which is why aftermarket producers don't sell competitively priced reproductions of hard-to-find military parts. The short answer, as best as I understand it, has to do with economy of scale.
Stamped steel components like a fixed 10-round magazine are inexpensive to manufacture, *if you already have* the specific tooling, specs, and other production infrastructure. If you are starting from scratch, the startup costs are enormous.
Not many companies are in a position to put down the type of money required to start production of that type of a product, and those that are will devote those resources to products with larger markets.
You always make it fun to watch your videos. Or maybe I'm a nerd. Porque no los dos?
Exactly. Not being a nerd is overrated. Thanks for watching, as always!
Sks and skateboarding..... we could chill
I bought a package of 200 back in..... 95(?) I think. Anyway they're Russian and they work great and I've been using them ever since.
kinda funny you just posted this i literally just ordered 3 dozen stripper clips with a few crates of Chinese surplus 7.62x39. i hope they work decent, too bad you couldn't ship to Canada i would of much rather bought the stripper clips from you. Another great video man!
Thanks friend! Any clips that come pre-loaded with Chinese ammo should be good to go. It’s the silliest thing that I can’t ship to Canada. God forbid that *highly sensitive* 19th century military technology be shared with our closest ally 🤦♂️
If your crates come with spam cans of 550 rds each, then likely they're already packed on stripper clips. That surplus Chinese stuff is hard to come by now and expensive too (last time I checked).👍
@@Triangle26 sadly the 750 round cans i got aren't on stripper clips but i couldn't say no to them they where on sale for $200 per can. if they stripper clips i got don't work great im going to pick up a can of Chinese surplus on stripper clips so i can get more of them, theres tons of chinese surplus ammo coming into Canada right now its nice getting some not bad prices for once. if those stipper clips dont work out i will try and find a source in canada for some of the good ones you mentioned in this video. Yeah typical government rules that make 0 sense lol its almost impossible to get anything firearms related shipped up here from the usa.
@@mikhailkalashnikov4599 Yeah i got 750 round cans they where $200 and the 550s where $240 so i got more ammo for cheaper. Theres tons of chinese surplus ammo coming into canada right now. some places have 1500 round crates for $450
In canada when you buy yhe chinese corrosive surplus the rounds come in clips some are good some are trash

I have positive experience with Chinese numbered (no circle) clips, but not too much with some grey and matte Russian clips. Some Russian ones look refurbished and do not work even close to their Yugo counterparts.
I love a good stripper.... clip. I couldn't resist. Thanks bro. I really like my OG Chinese 31 clips and obviously the Czech clips.

#BXBNSARETHEBEST
As someone who had minor luck on the amazon clips, I am now wondering if even those don't work as well as some could. I have at least one actual Chinese stripper clip (just a 386 on the back) and the rest seem to be some combination of commerical types. I have a few that are labled CTC that seem to work OK. the "(31) " clips I ended up with were still packed in some sort of cosmoline, and I had to clean them up, but the first pack I got seemed to work well most of the time. Still, I've got some new scars on my thumb knuckle from some of them.
I might need to order some from you anyway!
My rule of thumb (a heavily scarred thumb, ha!), is that quality clips should fully charge the weapon in two distinct motions. The inset video at 2:48 shows this pretty well. The first 8-9 rounds should flow in pretty effortlessly, but it is normal in my experience for the final 1-2 rounds to require a second gentle push. There should be no catching or binding beyond these two motions, and (within reason) one should not need to be especially precise in these movements. If this is not what you are experiencing, you can reasonably expect better performance from other clips. I have never injured myself using a BXN clip, and I have really jacked up my hands using other products. If you ever want to give them a try, you know where to find me!
#BXNSARETHEBEST
I have a few Czech clips and they sure look and feel different than the cheapo ones I got on Amzn, which I haven't used much. I have a surplus of surplus Mauser ammo clips, though.
"A surplus of surplus" is one of my favorite problems to have!
Why don't you put your store url in the description. I'd like to buy some clips from you but how? ;)
Thanks for all the info and the stripper clip giveaway. #BXNSARETHEBEST
Sir, if someday in the future you write a book about SKS, I'll definitely buy one. In China, we don't have detailed info, book, or any other chanel that we can acquire indepth SKS knowledge. Luckly, I touched an SKS rifle from our military instructor during University Entrance military trainning but never fire a single shot🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
I personally wish I would have know you sold quality stripper clips before I bought some NC-STAR stripper clips because I absolutely love your videos and would have loved to help sponsor your channel by buying them, that being said I have not had any issues with the ones I bought and do find it enjoyable to load my sks with stripper clips.
Thanks all the same friend! I'm glad the clips you have are working properly. It seems to me that some of these "brand name" clips must be sourced in different batches, because some people swear they have no problems, and other times they are a total nightmare.
For sure #BXNSARETHEBEST
Where can I get some BX striper clips?
US resident? Search “premium BXN clips” in eBay, Etsy, or GunBroker. My listings will come up first on every site. You can also email me (email address in the description of this video) for a direct PayPal invoice for a ~15% discount.
How do I get to your stores?

Are the Russian clips particularly rare? I have a dozen or so I got from my lsg. I prefer the BXN ones myself but I keep them so my collection has the correct clips
I wouldn’t describe them as rare, but there is definitely a tighter supply. They are always available, but they tend to sell at a bit of a premium. I definitely see them as more of a collector’s item than a “range bag” clip.
@@Triangle26 I’m glad you made this video because it confirmed a lot of what I had heard elsewhere. If I could make a request, could you make videos on other SKS kit like cleaning kits, pouches, and other miscellaneous stuff you don’t hear about that often?

Thanks again for the videos man

You are telling me… It’s legitimately infuriating. I love my home, and watching it fall apart over the past couple decades has been heartbreaking. Currently negotiating with my lady as to where to go.
@Triangle26 come to Michigan 🤙
Hi, I recently obtained my first Chinese SKS rifle, and I'm trying to get some help in identifying the arsenal code and date of manufacture. The arsenal code appears to be a larger Triangle with a smaller inverted Triangle within it and a 5 within that. To the right of that on the reciever is type 56 Chinese markings, followed by the serial number which begins in 25 and is a seven digit number. There's a import mark to the right of that which reads "SKS 7.62X39 CHINA CAI ST ALB VT" I believe that's century arms import marks. Can anyone help me determine which factory this was made in and when? Many thanks.
Sounds like the factory code is a less common one that I call “6665”. It may actually be 6656, 6566, 5666 etcetera, but the takeaway is that it has 3 stylized 6’s and a standardized 5. Never seen a decoded location for that marking before.
25 date code translates to 1980.
@Triangle26 thank you for your help, I didn't realize these rifles were even made in the 80s. Do you know when military production of SKS's ended? I know they we're being made for the commercial market in the 90s if I recall correctly.
@@ericgeorge5300The distinction between military and commercial production gets complicated in communist countries like China. Officially, the big shift from military to commercial production took place in 1980, exactly when your rifle was made.
That said, the “commercial” rifles built during the early and mid-1980’s were literally identical to the “military” rifles that came before them. They literally used their existing military production infrastructure to produce “commercial” firearms. One day the production lines were shipping to the PLA, the next day they were shipping exactly the same product to Norinco for export.
@Triangle26 that's great information. I really like your channel, it's very informative. Your very knowledgeable. Thanks for the help.
Where do I go if id like to purchase these? I've always wanted some and honestly would rather deal with you than anybody else!

Appreciate the great vids as always
Have you ever done videos on gun's you didn't own?
Not to my recollection
Do you know exactly what SKS varrients will accept BXN stripper clips? KLAYCO47 in his SKS Paratrooper review video shows that Yugo SKS stripper clips do not work in a Chinse SKS.
I haven’t seen that video (I’ll check it out later), but something anomalous is happening. I’ve used hundreds of Yugo clips in dozens of Chinese rifles and never encountered that problem.
#BXNSARETHEBEST ....love the channel wealth of knowledge....makes learning about owning an sks fun
Any chance of your clips being available for the Canucks?
I wish, but unfortunately not. As bizarre as it sounds, the US considers 19th century foreign made stripper clips to be “defense and military related technologies” that cannot be shared with our closest ally because that would compromise “national security and foreign policy objectives”. Believe me, I asked.
