The ammo is Bulgarian, but I think the clips are US 7.62 NATO!?!
Did they come together in a sealed box? I could be wrong on the clip, but it is not Bulgarian.

 

YES, those are definately M14 stripper clips. They'll hold the ammo just fine, but I doubt they will fit into the slot on the 98k receiver.

?7,9 ammo?

The Ammo may be Bulgarian (red steel cases, ?Factory "10", but the packet label is laid out in Czech 1950s style, and Model 47 is Vz47, the post war Czech loading.
Also the Powder (Nctp) is typically Czech. And the Triangle mark is also one of the Czech markers of 1948-51 made 7,9mm ammo.
Could it be a " covert" lot...English is not common in Eastern European ammo labels, unless it is Commercial or for nefarious purposes.

As to the clips, they are not M98 style clips, and their rough appearance makes then probably either Chinese or Eastern Bloc clones.( of the NATO Clip).

I wondered about the english on the labels, thought maby for export?

The 2 stripper clips are US for the M14. SEY was a common maker.
Did the chicoms make stripper clips for their Nato ammo? All I've seen was in paper bundles.

Bulgarian ammo of the 8mm variety makes the POF 303 look like match ammo. The highest amount of click bangs and no bangs of any 8mm out there. Used to be sold by Paragon in the nineties for around 10c a round. Terrible stuff.

 

Not only are the clips for 7,62x51 NATO but they're from an American maker..... weird or what!

In a rush and I forgot the second sentence.

Factory '10' is Kazanlak Arsenal in Bulgaria, it's still the source of most of Bulgarias small arms production. There was a Russian factory that used '10' but they stopped production round about 1946 so this is definitely Bulgarian.

Thanks for the info guys. The stripper clips came off some yugo 8mm ammo. Someone could have just put them on there when they sold it to me. Bulgarian- no wonder the stuff doesn't shoot.
