The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I want to buy some stripper clips so looking on ebay the originals are priced at about $6 a clip for originals. So a few questions.
1. How were the Russian troops issued clips? In ammo cans, cleaning kits or just passed out?
2. If they are in the ammo cans, I have two unopened pictured below. Would they be in the can and if so how many? I have no plans to open them anytime soon.
3. Are they getting hard to get and are they worth the price for the originals over new ones?

the top can dont have stripper clips for sure and the bottom one doesnt look like it has them either... Some came with stripper clips and some tins didnt... I dont see where it has the lettering for the stripper clips on the bottom can...
