[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2326878, member: 7157"] The CMP en bloc clips, from what I hear, are quite serviceable if you don't care about their provenance. Be careful of the eBay clips, as some of them are Chinese and don't work as well. If you're going to the Wanenmacher show the weekend after this one, you can find en bloc clips everywhere. Just be sure to check the stamped codes if they're labeled "USGI" and don't spend more than $2-3 per USGI clip. The HXP ammo can contain a number of other head stamps; it's luck of the draw. Lately, my orders have been all HXP, dated 70, 77, and 78; but last year, I got several head stamps in the same can. Winchester, Frankford, Remington, Western Cartridge, and Twin Cities. I've gotten VC on occasion, but I don't know if they're of special interest. Not to me, anyway - I just sort them out by maker and repack the cans. [/QUOTE]
