It is relaxing for some reason.

Had to load a bunch of clips for a steel challenge match tonight and wound up loading a few more than I'll even need, just because I enjoy doing it.

Anyone else a fan of loading clips?

Either Bender is on a bender, or he's talking about moon clips for a revolver...

My grandfather was in WWI and wounded in the Meuse-Argonne offensive. He was an old war horse army guy.
I got a butt chewing of immense proportions one day at his farm when I asked him to hand me another clip while we were target practicing. In his gravely German accent voice he said " Vell vee haben nine barbers heir!"

Magazines are just a task. Boring.

Clips are fun to load.

I'd explain it if I could, but its just a fact of the universe.

Now that does look like fun!

They call those cylinder reloads clips?

My Garand uses en block clips, and my Mosin can use strip clips, though they are rare since it is easy to hand load by just cramming a handful of (5) carts into the internal magazine.

Yep, moonclips.

TK Custom makes a really handy loader for them.



The match went pretty poorly. I havent shot a wheelgun match in at least two years. I did beat a guy on my squad shooting CO with a Staccato and a red dot, so that was fun.

But my DA trigger work needs some TLC.

100%. As soon as I read it, I knew what he was up to. Bender, of all people, knows the difference and wouldn't use them interchangeably.

100%. And it worked like a charm.
I thought the exact same thing at first, then looked at who posted, and knew he knew what he was doing.

I have become predictable in my old age

I enjoy unloading clips. And magazines for that matter.

Pretty much knew it was a troll, but didn't have moon clip.

Was expecting stripper clips. Mauser or Springfield...

Don't forget SKS.

Garand clips are a PITA

I do have some of those…

And don't forget the M1 Carbine that used stripper clips to load the detachable box magazines. So you could say it used both clips and detachable magazines.
You could use the stripper clips to load the detachable box magazines either on the carbine or off the carbine or if needed could load the detachable magazines one round at a time.
M14's and M16's had stripper clips to load the detachable box magazines as well.

ETA: Other U.S. military longarms that also used stripper clips were the M1917, M1903, M1903-A3 and M1903-A4

The M-14 actually had a stripper clip guide as as well.

And US .mil issue ammo for the M-16/M-4 comes on stripper clips, with a guide for loading it into magazines.

Now, if you want to get really obscure, the Mauser C96 and Steyr-Hahn pistols used stripper clips.

ETA: I had to look up photos, but the M1903A4 can't use stripper clips. The scope mount is in the way. Since it can be single loaded, it's not offset like the M1D.

Yea. Our slang for the guide you pulled out was " the spoon". Like spoon feeding the baby.

OB is slipping, can't believe nobody has posted the Star Wars "it's a trap" meme.

I have a SMLE No 1, No4, no5, Garand and a few other clip loaded rifles.

I also use the term Silencer instead of suppressor since that is what Hiram Maxim named the device he invented & patented.

There were some 1903A4's that were fitted with the older Warner Swasey scope that allowed for using the stripper clips in addition to some other mounts used to accommodate the use as well.
During WWII there was a dire shortage of scopes …..Remington would manufacture 1903A4's that did not have scopes available for them. It was said they kept these rifles aside waiting for scope availability but there is strong evidence that shows there were 1903A4's shipped to arsenals without scopes and were issued as such.
