GCA Article On M1 Clip

I also thought it was interesting that he mentions that at the time, that they had heard rumors that that had worked. He called them tricks. I agree there's no way you could hear that in a huge gunfight, but I guess in certain situations you could

I suppose it might work in a one on one situation or with one soldier guarding a staircase. The enemy would have to think that they were facing one opponent for them to rush his position after a ping.

I found an interesting ordnance photo showing the development of the M1 clip dated 12-4-31. The top row displays 10 round .30 caliber clips, so there should have been a 10 round capacity, prototype .30 caliber Garand rifle early on. However, I have yet to come across a photo of that rifle.

So what are we to make of this? It's 10 rounds of 30-06. Attachment 117357

I know the Mondragon had an early clip but not aware of 30-06 usage. I’ll have to put my google foo techniques to work as I haven’t seen a Garand 10 round with that shape. Thank you for posting Bob.

Looks a bit like the Pederson clips.
