i have a few stripper clips, silver and gold in color, for .308. I attempted to load them using the guide on the rifle, and it does not line up with the back of the mag. After fuddling with it, i can eventually charge the gun. Do you have to be pretty deliberate in lining up the clip with the mag? for reference, they load easily with the charger and a magazine.
Q's about M1As and stripper clips

Are you really sure that they are for .308 AND for the M1A? I know of only parkerized M14 stipper clips...
IME, it takes only a firm shove of the clip into the guide, followed by a firm cram of my thumb, to load the 5 rounds rather quickly. It works best if you have your thumb back next to the stripper clip. At mid-case or forward, they can hang up.

chiz45, they may be 8mm or '03 clips. We can try some M14 stripper clips I have. You need to make sure the stripper clip is pushed all the way down into the magazine. It is also possible that the commercial stripper guide is a hair too narrow where the clip fits in.
Let me know when you want your Mojave stock installed.
