[smle2009]

Hi all, picked up this charger clip the other day,it's black plastic holds 10 5.56mm rounds and is marked H 8 PAT.PEND 8476606.
Has anyone else come across these or have any info about them?

Canadian 5.56mm uses that particular type of plastic charger. There is also a black plastic magazine loader that goes with them.

To support what edstorey was saying, here some info/pict on Cdn version of the plastic clip and the feeder that we still use.



We also used a plastic charger as well but, stop using it and switch to metal. The plastic had a big problem at the lips... it was always breaking after a few reloading. Causing the weapon to jam a lot, has the lips could not retained the cartridges in place and double feeding it in weapon chamber.

Cheers.
