Well, the rules are that once you get a clip for any gun, you have to buy that gun.

[Canucky]

Buying the gun aint all that bad. It's trying to find affordable ammo for it.

I want to see him load one with ammo and try to get it in the gun without loosing his thumb....

When I show off my ( New ) Garand ......... Next I show off my M 1 thumb ( Bottom of thumbnail still a nice shade of dake blue )

I only did it once ..........Learned the hard way
After a little pratice I can Rock and Roll on that bad Boy !!!

Maybe we should start a pic collection of M 1 Thumb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Darklyte27]

Lcpl, which range did you get those from?

I have a garand, I could take them off your hands!
and yes, slap yourself for not knowing!

[NRAhighpowershooter]

Ok so you all made fun of him for not knowing what they are...I think he gets it now. NOW I want to see him load one with ammo and try to get it in the gun without loosing his thumb....

One doesn't get 'M1 Thumb' from loading a Garand.. they get it from messing around with an empty Garand... mstly from not making sure the bolt is locked ALL the way to the rear and not hung up on the rear of the follower....

Aww c'mon, are you seriously hurt by what we are saying? No sense of humor?

Indeed. I was lucky to find some good WW2 surplus .30/06 ammo for my 1917 Enfield. It's packed away in a sealed army surplus ammo can with a bag full of Swedish Mauser stripper clips. These are boxer primed DEN 42 cases and reloadable too.

I bought this Enfield for $100 at the gun show more than 20 years ago. Cleaning up a few burs in the chamber (with emery cloth)was all that was necessary to get it back into shooting condition. The M-1 Garands are bit pricey for me in Today's market...

You guys are all idiots.

Those are CLEARLY Beta C Mags. The top one is a 9mm (obviously ), the one on the left is a .308 and the one on the right is .223.

Congrats on your killer find!

Nope, they are Beta VIII mags.

[jdberger]

Man, if you didn't know what those are, in the dark by feel, you should turn in your man card.

...and know that they make excellent improvised handcuffs....

[AimLow]

you guys serious?

a buck for an M1 Garand clip that I'm never gonna use doesn't seem that bad to me...

You slipped and said you found them (not yours) and now post it up for sale.

Why don't you bring them back to the range where you found them or give them up for free.

The audacity of some people
