Good article and I stand corrected, never to old to learn nor admit the need for it. And, now I know why John Wayne called it a clip, the M-1 uses a clip to feed the shells into the magazine, like an sks. I also understand that the noise the empty M1 magazine makes when it ejects the clip on the final round got a lot of the good guys killed. In close combat the bad guys knew the M1 was empty when they heard that sound. Thanks for all the info. By the way, I found a magazine for my Venture on Ebay but it was $48 compared to $28 on the other site. Ebay was free shipping.
