just for have done it once I order a repro clip for the M 88 with some spare parts last week.

it was the first time I have seen here new made steal clips. the one made from brass that flood around had have a very bad reference.
here is the thing side by side with an original, looks not bad on the first view. its not lacquered with shellac anymore but plated with cadmium

also when loaded

but when you load it into the rifle it goes not so easy like an original and its very hard to load the first round. after this the rounds points with the bullet down or - sometimes - stick in the clip so you have to push it from the bottum.

maybe this is gome if you have use the clip the first hundert times. we will probably need this repros in future more and more because the originals will become obsolete. it seems that there are very big problems to make such clips again today so simple they look on the first view.
