You say, "Very few people use stripper clips to fill their magazines these days." I don't know about your expertise in this area, but I still do (although not for a AR-15). At the range, I still see others that do as well. If you have some special expertise in the area by which you can be informed that "Very few people use stripper clips to fill their magazines these days," I would like to know what it is.
You also say, "There's no such limit in place" in response to my statement that "If manufacutured stipper clips are already limited to 10 rounds." There are 5-round stripper clips and 10-round stripper clips. The 5-round stripper clips are a little more practical to carry, but I've used both. I suggest that manufacturers have every right to set their machines to manufacture 5-round clips or 10-round clips. No one can prevent them from limiting themselves from doing so. Pushing 10 rounds into a magazine off a clip is sufficiently challenging. If you know of any manufacturer that makes a clip in excess of 10 rounds, I'ld like to know the identity of that manufacturer. If not, I think that the manufacturers decide the limits that they want to place on their own clips.
