    Collecting M-1 Clips

    I remember on the older forum. One of the posters had a web site with photos of his M-1 clip collection. I just picked up up a few interesting one's but no WRA's. Anyone can help. Thanks Frank Jr.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Garand Clips

    Thanks steel that's the site I was looking for. I found one of the clips with the "wheel" stamped into the center ring. Manufacturer unknown at this time. Frank Jr.

    Here is a chromed clip I picked up lately. I posted it on Ebay but got kicked off 'cause they say it's a "magazine". Now it's called a "follower spacer block". Shhsssh, don't tell Ebay.

    I recently bought 192 rounds of HXP in the bandoliers/spam can, dated 1971. I was lucky and received seven "SA" marked clips out of the lot of 24 clips. Two of them were the large "SA" from WW2 era.

    early clips

    The very early SA clips are sometimes found with the following: large C or numbered 0, 1, 2 or 3 or even blank, like the early WRA all have the notches cut-out and a different web pattern on the back from the later clips
