Is there an easy way to keep this ammo lined up properly in the stripper clips? I'm having the problem of the rims messing up the program and jamming the gun


TIA!

Dear Sir-I'm going to open a can of worms here,but I have experienced this also.Although I own 2 M1891's,2 M91/30's ,2 M-44's and a VKT M-39,I stagger ALL of my rounds individually and don't use the stripper clips.Have read that changing the interuptor/ejector will cure the rim hanging,but I'm not going to battle with my Mosin's tomorrow so I don't worry about it.Mind you,I rebuilt from the ground up a 1915 Tula barreled action mated to a 1916 Sestroretsk stock and also refinished a 1943 Izhevsk.Also replaced the AA M91/30 front sight post with a .030 over size post to bring the elevation down from 1 foot high to 2 inches low!My point is,it's not that big of a deal to me.You might order some interupter/ejectors from Rich Reich or TAPCO and experiment,as I understand that there is no set method for loading a stripper clip.My .02 worth:)-Gearhead
