Check to make sure you're not bleeding anywhere, and nothing is missing
from your refrigerator?

I've *plonked* a few bozos here (slammer, fla jim, someone else, and one
or two others) but I've never plinked anyone. It sounds...ominous.

You have to plink before you can plonk.

I doubt your AR will even use stripper clips. I can see why you don't
mess with them. My M1A can directly charge the magazine in the gun
from the top with a stripper clip and the bolt kicks it out of the
holder when you close it.

The box came with an attachment for the clip.

I have a couple of those magazine loader "spoons" John was talking
about but I have never used them. I always load the magazines from
loose rounds. I do have some battle packs in strippers but I haven't
even opened the bags. I have a bunch more in strippers in a can but I
haven't got down to shooting them either. I am still working on stuff
that was boxed. If you just stack them in a 30 cal ammo can in
alternate directions you get almost 400 rounds in there that way.

I don't recall anything about a loader 'spoon'. I have some stripper clips for the
Mosin Nagant, but don't use them. Hell, it takes more time to load the clip and then
load the rifle than to just load the rifle.

Besides, the extra time used for loading the rifle enables one to think on what a
****ty shot one is!

If you have the ability to shoot with both eyes open, there is the
solution that works for me. My lasik'd distance vision is good in both
eyes, but since I am creaky and old, I need reading glasses
for...reading...or to clearly see the sights on a pistol or rifle.

So...I have a reading lens on the right eye side of the glasses and
either no lens or a clear lens on the left eye. Somehow what is left of
my creaky brain is able to "merge" what I see so that I can easily and
clearly see the firearm sights *and* the target.

Your mileage may vary.



I only shoot a rifle with one eye.

Where do you store the other one?

Maybe it was Tim but it was yesterday.

The rounds can be in the stripper clips when you get them. I have a
couple battle packs shipped that way. How did you get your bulk ammo
in the army?

I yelled, "Hey Top, I need some ammo!"

On the ranges in the states, it was already unpackaged and we took the number of
rounds we were told to take.

I only shoot a rifle with one eye. Pistol and shotgun are with both
eyes open. I do use reading (1.50) glasses but I see well enough close
up to pick up the front sight and that is really all you need.

At the range yesterday the target was a 1" red dot on a paper plate 25 yards away. I
could focus on the front sight easily, but the red dot was just a dark blur on a
white blur - with the computer glasses.
