What kind of stripper clips are required for the FR8 rifle? I assumed that 7.62 nato ammo meant 7.62 nato stripper clips but my reasoning is apparently flawed as the strippers for my M14 don't fit in the charging bridge of my new mauser.What stripper clips are designed to be used with this neat and handy rifle? Thanks:)

PS; I bought this rifle yesterday and checked headspace and the like.It looks very nice and is in honest 98% condition. I just got the rifle cleaned up today...It's going to the range for the first time tommorrow. Can't wait!:D

I think the stripper slot is set up for 8 mm strippers as they were originally 8 mm rifles. I know conventional 7.62Nato strippers won't fit in 3 that I've attempted to put a stripper in. The slot was way too narrow side to side.
