The WW2 Canadian Army Stripper Clip is a period military accessory designed for rapid loading of rifles commonly used by Canadian forces during the Second World War. Manufactured from stamped steel, these clips typically hold five rounds of .303 British ammunition, facilitating efficient reloading under operational conditions. The design is characterized by its compact form and simple, functional construction, allowing soldiers to quickly insert cartridges into the rifle magazine. Stripper clips were standard issue for use with service rifles such as the Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I and its variants, contributing to the efficiency and effectiveness of Canadian infantry units.

The use of stripper clips represented an important advancement in small-arms logistics, enabling troops to maintain a higher rate of fire with reduced manual effort.
