GCA Article On M1 Clip

[ROCK]

Pretty close... it's for the White rifle that lost to the T3E2 Garand. The White gas system was used in the M14.

The action on that looks similar to the Pederson .276; which makes me wonder what it would be like loading an enbloc clip in a toggle action like the Pederson.

I'd like to take it for a test drive too, but the tag suggests it's not fit.

Here's the closest to a test drive I could find. Loading the 10 round clip at about 2:09. Definitely looks clumsy compared to loading a Garand. After the loaded clip is inserted, the bolt overrides the top round and closes on an empty chamber which indicates that one could easily get Pederson thumb when loading a full clip; something that is not possible when loading a full clip into a Garand.

I saw that one too. I'd like to take some of these for a run...
