Australian .308 stripper clips fits ??? Gun

hughes1
I bought some .308 surplus ammo and it is 1980's production from Australia and came on 5-round stripper clips marked MBO1983 (Munitions Bendigo Ordnance, Bendigo, Victoria) Any idea what gun these stripper clips are for? Someone told me thaey ar MK3 stripper clips, but that still doesn't tell me what rifle(s) thay are for.

    They fit in my M1A, however that Aussie surplus is pretty old and the rounds do not slide off the clips very easily at all. If I took the rounds out and lightly oiled the clips they probably work, but I don't bother, just remove the rounds and load them into mags.

    Wizard,

    I can get 1 stripper into the mag no problem, but when I try to fill a 20 round mag in the rifle with Four of the 5-round strippers the last 2 are a real pain in the butt to force in. Its simpler for me just to take the rounds off the stripper and load mags by hand. I dont' like having to apply the kind of force that is neccesary to shove the rounds off the stripper into my very clean loaded M1A, what if I slip and put a big ol scrath in my reciever or sumpin *grins*.

    They are designed for FAL's using the stripper clip guides that slip over the mags. They work OK for me in metric mags.

    Yea, your going to need a stripper clip guide to use them for loading a magazine. They will work in guns like the M1A or Canadian C1A1 that have a guide attached to the reciever.
