I'll go ahead and say it..... duckbill'less mags in a Bubba'ed SKS IS faster and more reliable then stripper clips.

I have not spent any amount of time using stripper clips but I have seen plenty of people getting hung up trying to feed them in. 100% agree. I'll also add that in my experience the promag hate for reliability is overstated by people that either aren't willing to fit them to their rifle and or don't clean them.

I would however put durability, compactness and of course affordability in stripper clips favor.

Ive noticed after a decades plus worth of use (most of which in below freezing conditions) the polymer feed lips on my Tapco mags are starting to wear thin.

That's fair.

Mags are consumable items, they wear out. Might be time for new ones if they aren't working anymore.
