Description
U.S. Government Issue (USGI) 5.56mm stripper clips are standard military accessories designed to streamline the loading process of 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition, commonly used in rifles like the M16, M4, and civilian AR-15 variants. Each clip securely holds 10 rounds and is crafted from durable metal, often parkerized or finished to resist corrosion. These clips are compatible with both USGI-style aluminum magazines and high-quality aftermarket polymer mags. The same mil-spec stripper clips used by the military with 5.56mm ammo, are available to civilians, and are manufactured in the USA to exact government standards.
These clips, sometimes referred to as “speed loaders,” drastically reduce the time needed to reload magazines—particularly in high-pressure environments like combat zones, training exercises, or even busy civilian ranges. By attaching a charger spoon (or stripper clip guide) to the magazine, the user can load 10 rounds in a single swift motion. Packs are commonly sold with 40 stripper clips and one spoon, enough to load 400 rounds of 5.56mm, .223 Remington, or even .300 Blackout ammunition. These surplus clips are reusable and in good condition, with both retention tabs intact, and are ideal for organizing loose rounds or staging preloaded clips for quick access.
Beyond their military application, USGI stripper clips offer practical benefits for civilian shooters. Whether you’re preparing for timed competition events, managing hourly range time, or just organizing ammunition for storage, stripper clips help maximize efficiency and readiness. For long-term storage, loading ammunition onto stripper clips and packing them into ammo cans keeps rounds neat, accessible, and battle-ready—just like the professionals do.
