Will M14 stripper clips work for a 1903A3?
I need to get some stripper clips to feed my 1903A3. With the new baby I have to pinch pennies. Will either M14 or Fal clips work? They seem much less expensive compared to 1903 clips. I need about 25 of them.

Unfortunately M 14 clips won't work. They are made to go much farther into the reciever, and only have one set of 'ears' about half way down the clip. Spfld clips have three sets of ears, with a set being about half way from the middle to the end of the clip.
Aluminum French clips marked on the back 7.62 will also work; they were made for the Model 1917s we gave France during WW II. French clips marked 7.5 won't work.

I think 8mm Mauser clips may work.
I used to shoot a 1917 Enfield in NRA Highpower Matches. 1903 clips worked in the 1917 and I was told 8mm clips would also work.

Here is a picture of a (left to right) Springfield clip, a M-14 clip and a French 7.62 clip.
If you want to pm me, I can set you up with some French 7.62 clips.

I believe that Swedish 6.5x55 clips will work well with .30-06.
