No, no, no. The cartridges should look like this in the clip:
\=> \=> \=> \=> |=> I love my M-39 so much; I had to get the clips, and the twin pouch, and the Mojo peep sight. The first time I used the clips, I thought I'd bruised the tip of my thumb bone. I later found out that each clip [Tika? T inside a triangle inside a circle?] would work better in one direction, so I marked them. Now I think it is more fun to forgo the clips; unless some know-it-all wants to *try* to use them. Then I have just as much fun watching them try. |

Yep, Mauser had something with that notch on the left side of the receiver.
Of course, it doesn't matter how the rounds go in the clip (see above), but the M-N clip has one peculiarity, in that it is the only rifle "stripper" clip I know of that isn't made to pop out when the bolt is closed. Unlike the Mauser, Springfield, Lee-Enfield, M14, SKS, etc., the M-N clip has to be manually pulled out, both in the M-N itself and in the SVT. Jim |

I've never loaded from strippers but I did have a problem with being unable to load a mosin nagant with an improperly inletted stock. the ejector/left magazine lip(whatever it's called) was unable to extend beyond the left side of the receiver so you really had to cram in the ammo, just about broke my thumb a couple times it was so stiff.

I assumed Lt. S was referring to the tip of the thumb hitting the top of the left receiver rail, something I don't seem able to avoid. I sort of have to put the end of the thumb on the top round, instead of the ball of the thumb as I would do with a K.98k.

Nope. I didn't hit anything. Pushing on the cartridge resulted in burst blood vessels.

I have clip loaded M-N's for some few years and never had that much trouble; I tend to think your rifle has something wrong with the magazine if it is that hard to load.
