Question about stripper clips
 

Can Mauser 8mm stripper clips be used in a Mosin bolt rifle? i saw this mosin 91/30 for 99 dollars, in beautiful condition. im tempted to buy it, also because the store thats selling it sells the ammo there in bulk at dirt cheapt prices, but i dislike loading one at a time, so i saw these clips and you can get a bag of them for $1:00 so i was just currious can the 7.62x54mm fit in the 8mm clips or can the clips even fit in the mosin? i know this might sound like a dumb question but ya never know and ive never tried so.....

p.s oh and just for the hell of asking, how is the recoil on one of these?

oh and...
 

also, if anyone is wondering why i just didn't ask the guy who ran the store, it's because he dosen't even know, heck he has a couple of Walther P1 pistols in stock that he has marked as P38 and selling them for 600 each >_>

MG Cat, I doubt that the larger rims of the 7.62x54 would fit, but even if they did, you need an enbloc clip with sides vise a stripper clip. I have the proper ones available @$2.50 each or 5 for $10. hellerarms@webtv.net
