First.....I have a clip marked 'MW'. I had some considerable difficulty getting this clip into the rifle. Once it was just over half way in, there was no backing off, I finally was able to force it 'home'. All rounds fired normally. It refused to come out untill I disassembled the rifle and drove it down & out with a hammer & screwdriver. No amount of jiggling the clip release made any difference, felt like it was in a neutral spot, no resistance of any kind. Other clips I used worked normally........

Next..... I bought 3 new highly recommended SS recoil springs from an East coast concern. In firing my .308 Garandicon after firing the 30-06 one mentioned above, I felt a surprising increase in recoil. The new SS spring in it is now 2 1/2 inches shorter than another new one I have. I am comfortable with a spring taking a 'set' from new but 2 1/2"????? PJH
