Page 1 story in 1 March issue of The New Gun Week reads, "State Dept. cracks down on moon clips"

Seems as if, for some reason or other, they are "on the trail of" Ranch Products of Malinta, OH, maker of same, for violation of State Departments International Traffic in Arms Regulations(ITAR), according to the article.

Moon Clips, that is "Full Moon Clips" might be something fairly new, however in an earlier life, or in a galaxy far away, "Half-Moon Clips" were issued during World War 1, for use with Colt and Smith & Wesson Model 1917 New Service Revolvers that fired the .45 ACP cartridge.

Is the State Dept. on to some dasterdly deeds, or do they need a prescription for sillyness: stop engaging therein: pills or tablets.

Inquiries re the above, might be directed to the firearms staffers, at the Washington, D.C. offices of your "elected things".

1.800.648.3516 gets one onto Capitol Switchboard, and from there to the congressional/senatorial offices of your choice.

Try it, you might like it.

TallPine:

Speak softly, the others will all want one, or two.
