Fellows:

I have purchased two different makes of reduced capacity clips for my Korean War vintage M1icon. One is a five-rounder and the other is a two-and-five round combination clip.

Neither of these clips work in my rifle. It appears that they are failing to engage the clip guide detent that locks them into the action upon loading. Standard clips work fine

Questions: Is this a common malfunction? Am I doing something wrong and is there a fix for these clips, assuming they are salvageable? This is odd, as the reduced clips seem to be the same exterior dimension as original 8-rounders
