Thanks for posting the pictures.

No, no, no. Those ads were written by libtard idiots....70 years ago.

A great majority of WW2 vets were trained on the garand, and associated "clips" with "portable reloading devices". That's a big mass of popular usage to fight against by the M1 carbine or BAR gunners, if they even agreed or cared. The distinction picked up more significance in later generations, but there is still a body of countervailing lore and common usage from the experiences of the garanders and those whose lives they influenced.

Always been muzzle brake, will always be muzzle brake. Muzzle "break" is just friggin wrong......

You are absolutely correct in that particular muzzle device being a BRAKE and not a break and that was my point exactly.. Still, so many of the ads posted spell the brake as break.
Oh, while we are at it, a post in the For Sale section is an ad, not an add. Yeah, there is a difference in the two and NO, I am not a word cop.

I'm not a word cop either, but my mom and grandma made me anal about spelling. When somebody's talking about a turret press and spells it "turrent", I just go into convulsions and start flopping around on the floor.....

Thanks (really) as I, for one, had always thought there was an N in the word turret. I feel that most (or at least a good number people) do add the N to the word when pronouncing it. Thanks for the lesson, never too old to learn.

Ruger and Marlin still refer to magazines as clips in their manuals.

Correct on the training era with M1 Garands. The Garands were still in heavy use in Mid-1955 when I went through Basic training at Camp Chaffee, Arkansas. I still have an M1 Garand and a number of "CLIPS" to properly feed it.

Now we have to hope our wonderful Legislators will learn the difference between CLIPS and MAGAZINES also semi/full auto.
