I was going to ask where to get some when I saw the post. If you say Finland, then that's on me.

Had people walk by my FFL's show table all weekend asking where to find those. Had to rasie my hands up in the " I don't know position". :roll:

Guy could make a buck if he had a box full.

I have many of the Polte made charging clips for the rifles. My sport shooting club used to have them in a big box on the range where they were swept up after rounds. Are they valuable now?

:D These are getting more rare than they use to be in Finland. I did not see many at the depots last time I was in Finland. Here in the U.S. they are collectable. Maybe you should take those swept up strippers and put them on ebay :bigsmile:

I wish I had saved some. But I am long removed from the old club since I have immigrated with work to America. This was years ago when I was a boy and it was compulsory for all young men to be members of the shooting and sport clubs in the eastern part orf Germany. What would they be worth today? Perhaps I can still find a few from old freinds.

I just got a mail from one of my old freinds and its possible I may be able to still find some of these from the sport club that still operates. I'll let you all know if it comes to be Will these fit any Nagant or just the german ones modified?.
