I love this stuff! Build the rifle to suit you, make it an extension of yourself!

Er ... the demo does NOT make these clips look faster to load than using singles as the process looks fiddly at best of times and in a rush probably much worse.
Concept great. Execution lacking.
Simpler solution: Carry more actual mags.
I want to see someone make a 30 shot drum mag for that rifle. That'd be cool.

It could be faster than single loading the mag and there is a better method for using chargers / strippers, lift the tip of the top round slightly with the forefinger and push the cartridge down with the thumb at the rim of the round.

Good video.. I miss my 1916 BSA sporterized Enfield.. I put many miles on it around the bush.. I liked the power of the 303.. I took care of ..bear issues.. a number of times with it.. Just too bad ammo was so tough to find..

Just too bad ammo was so tough to find.. I remember as a kid in the 1970's and 80's Australia was awash with ex-mil .303 ammo. Lots of .303-25 as well. Then by the 90's the tide was going out on those calibers.

I too miss my 303, and also the 303/270, but ammo was just too expensive, and some of what was available as military surplus back then was of doubtful quality ex WW2. I remember the cadets had issues with crook WW2 ammo as well.
All the power on earth can’t change destiny, or the ending.

I remember the cadets had issues with crook WW2 ammo as well. == == The only surplus 303 ammo I ever had a problem with was from Pakistan (?) When it fired it worked fine.. However there was a lot of miss fires.. When a miss fire was taken apart it had the old cordite style long orange stick powder, the bundle in each shell tied with a small string.. I think it was 3 cents a shell in boxes of 100 at the hardware store...

I remember that stuff as well, Dad and Uncle John bought a load from somewhere to sell in the Hardware shop they had and most people complained it misfired. There was also some from Egypt I think that was of doubtful quality as well. It was 2/- a box at the time. Am I that old ? Endless wars are like slot machines that are rigged for people to lose and no one wins except for the person that owns the slot machine…
