Thank-you for the detail on the problems with Repro M88 clips.

WE are currently "reverse engineering" an original M88 Clip ( H? Hirtenberger) to make up the Press dies ( after the success of our Berthier 3-round M1890 clip...now available.

One point is that the M88 clip functions best with M88 type cartridge cases ( in calibres from 7mm to 9mm); other cartridge cases with different shoulder angles, different Body tapers, and diameters, will feed differently, especially if there is some small difference in construction of the clip.

WE thoroughly test our clips ( whatever type) to ensure good fit and feeding from original rifles.
