Yeah, I've heard the arguments for years that a clip is not a magazine. So tonight I pick up a Savage 93 GL in 22 mag. I open the lid of the cardboard box it came in and on one of the internal compartments was written: Bolt and Clip Inside.

Marlin Camp 45 carbines use clips.

Let me push up my nerd glasses while I insist you use the correct terminology despite the fact that we both know what we're talking about.

Whatever.

It does surprise me that a company would use the term clip.
 
I would like to present Positive Proof that Colonel Charles Askins Jr., world renowned hunter, sportsman, law officer, fighter, and target shooter was a fake and a fraud.

December 1955 Guns Magazine, page 29. A Shooting Iron Too Hot to Handle.

This article, by his own words, proves my contention.

Page 64, second column. Last sentence in the first full paragraph. >Minor feed troubles developed and the clip was altered about the lips.<

Page 66, 1st column, second full paragraph. >The hybrid shot like a dream! From the first shot through the full clip and for all the thousand first rounds<

Now, since EVERYONE but total newbs and doofuses (dufi?) and fakes KNOWS that that gun uses a DETACHABLE BOX MAGAZINE and not a CLIP, and EVERYONE KNOWS that a CLIP and a MAGAZINE are two distinct and different things, then it is proven here, by his own words, that he did not know a thing about guns.

A wise owl once said Whoo, Whoo, Whoooo cares! As long as the bullets come out the right end. And yes I change magazines in my pistols and load my Mausers with clips:)

That just proves that there was someone working there at the time that didn't know the difference...:rolleyes:
 
A magazine holds cartridges that feed into the chamber. A clip holds cartridges that feed into the magazine.

My Garand takes a clip that feeds rounds directly into the chamber. So do my Steyr M 95s, and the Gewehr 88. There are probably others too, but none come to mind immediately.
