Anyone have good luck with a specific 8mm Mauser stripper clip in their Hakim? The ones I have ordered have not worked well at all and just get stuck in the holder.
Never owned one myself. Have you tried what this guy says, to put in in horizontally first, then pivoting the clip with it?
Thanks! I will try to make it out there this weekend.What did you order?
Bring your Hakim to the Raleigh show this weekend and look for us at the Catawba Collectibles banner. I have a pile of 8mm stripper clips. You can try them in your rifle and pick out ones that work.
Would two bump Swedish Mauser clips work?The video is correct, they tip in and you flick the first clip out, the second empty clip gets kicked out when the bolt runs home. Actual Egyptian clips have two bumps in the side but 3 bump 98 mauser clips should work. Be sure you have 8 mm clips and not NATO, 03, or 7mm Mauser clips.
No, too wide and thick. Get some 98k 8mm clips. They should be the most plentiful.Would two bump Swedish Mauser clips work?
Different caliber, but it was originally a Swedish gun.
I know swede Mauser clips don't fit well in k98s, though.
