    Source for Garand clips?

    Probably a FAQ but no matter how I phrase it I get 500 threads returned, none of which seems to be relevant.

    What's the best source for bulk Garand en-bloc clips?

    Calling a revolver a "pistol" is like calling a magazine a "clip", calling a shotgun a rifle, or a calling a man a woman.

      Also, stay clear of Greek and Danish clips as you will have loading issues. Buy USGI only. Danich clips are unmarked. Greek clips do have markings as do US clips. US clip marking information can be found by Google.

        Providing CMP sells clipped ammo again, I would just buy that. Some of the clips may be a little rough to insert initially, but a little steel-wooling fixes that.

          Then you can save the clips and reload.

            To the OP... How many en-blocs are you looking for? I may have a couple hundred I can part with.

              I was looking for around a hundred but could take more. I am going to start reloading 30-06 but don't have the clips.

                  Big 5 has them. Since they carried M1 Garands. You can try there.

                      Just got my CMP Garand as well.

                      Have not been able to find any clips locally. I guess I will have to order some online as well.

                      Need to find a couple of bandoleers as well.

                        You can also try local gun shows. I think a previous poster said that as well.

                          Northridge International used to have tons of them. Might try there.

                            Big 5 may have some laying around. If your local store doesn't have them, they can probably order some from other stores for you. It probably isn't in the quantity you're looking for though.

                              The Big 5 that I got my M1 Garand from had maybe a 100 en blocs.
