[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 756532, member: 12995"] About the only gun I remember that used strippers was the 1903 Springfield with its internal box magazine, but it was .30-06 Springfield... However, I do remember that back then they liked to ship ammo in 5-round clips. Federal Lake City loads 10-round clips with 5.56x45 ammo even to this day... So that's probably all it is. Just an easier way of carrying ammo without having to carry loose rattling rounds around with you.
