freaking double post

my remington 7400 30-06 has a detachable magazine and i like it alot the magazine is always in the gun when i get to the woods i pop it out and load it then toss it back in and when im leaving drop it out remove the ammo and put the mag. back in never had a single rattle its my first semi auto rifle and im very happy and its much easier to load and unload over my marlin 336w 30-30 you have to basiclly chamber every round to unload that thing and with the exposed hammer it worried me sometimes even with the safety on so im happy with the magazine on the 30-06

i have detachable mags in my browning' s floor plate in my f.n. mauser and my CZ VZ24..

briman. fine looking gun you have there. i would trade my F.N. sporter chambered in 35whelen and some $$ for her.

When a bunch of us up here in Maine get together to shoot, be it rifles, shotguns, bows, pistols, whatever. The subject always turns to guns and anything related to guns. NOT ONCE have I ever heard someone refer to a clip as a " Detatchable Magazine."
Yeah, yeah, I know that TECHNICALLY there is a difference, but I bet you don' t tell somebody you have to wash your " autmobile." You probably say car or truck.

That may be true but I don' t refer it as a tractor. A magazine is not a clip.

I stand corrected. I never knew anyone had made a Garand in 308. I learn something new all the time.

I shoot a 61 year old .303 Brit. ,so yes mine has a clip.... oops I mean magazine.Only rifle in Canada that can still use a 10 shot clip.... darn there I go again. Never had any noise problems, gee I wonder why.

.308 garands are fairly common. Its usually done to garands that have shot out barrels or owners who want to build a more accurate service rifle from the garand. The big upside is that 7.62 nato surplus ammo is easy and cheap to get, while the older .30 ball ammo is getting pretty expensive.
