A Stripper clip is a small piece of metal that holds a group of rifle rounds together so that they can more quickly be fed into the magazine. As they are pushed into the rifle, they are stripped off the clip.

They are typically used on bolt action rifles such as Lee Enfield SMLEs or Mauser Kar98ks.
