MI CARBINE LOADING
Anyone know how to load the stripper clips into a M1 carbine

I believe the stripper clips load into a magazine (removed from the rifle) and it needs that little tool that attaches to the magazine almost identical to the M16 system. Check out this link:

The .30 carbine stripper clips have the "tool" (device starmetal mentions similar to M14/M16 "magazine filler") attached to each stripper clip.

Yes, the clips are made to strip cartridges into magazines outside the gun, not into the gun itself.
