Clip Magazine?

I think a clip magazine is like a female girl, isn't it?! :evil:

Genio
 
OMG, here we go again. Is it a creek or a crick? Maybe Marlin was just putting it out so all would understand it. I'm sure 99.999% here do as well.
 
I would assume it was a device which feeds loaded stripper clips of ammo into a gun.

I'd be wrong, but that's what I'd assume! :D

This certainly isn't the fist time the guys writing the copy for an owners' manual weren't completely up to speed on the terms.

You should see what it says in the translated Chinese SKS manual I've got! :what:
 
I think they mean box magazine.

Since it is not a tube magazine, it is another type of magazine. They can't just call it a magazine and leave it at that, but box magazine would have been better.

Well, a crick is in your neck and a creek is something a floorboard does, so you'd be better off worring about your floor while soaking your neck in a stream.

At any rate, "clip magazine" would seem to be a minor typographical error. No reason for much fuss over it.
 
loaded strippers need love too...sometimes more than average.

at least that is what I read in a clip magazine (I just get it for the articles)
 
It's a magaizine being marketed to those who use incorrect terminology. If they used the correct terminology Joe Sixpack would shake his head and say "but I am looking for a clip."
 
Why on earth would you need a detachable box magazine when a clip magazine will do the job? No need to over-complicate things.
 
If you've been watching the news recently, it would be "clip" as in "Those high capacity clips should be banned" . Those who care about semantics call it a "magazine".
 
Creak is the sound noisey floorboads make, you swim in a creek, and as Sam says a crick is in your neck.

You load a box magazine, intregral, or removable with a clip full of cartridges.
 
I never did mind that they wanted to ban clips but was worried that they would get around to banning mags, then I would start to worry, Now a manufacturer has gone and combined them into one item.:banghead:

Because the magazine is a "detachable box magazine" (DBM) not a "clip magazine". A clip and a magazine are two different items. A clip only holds the ammunition at one point, usually the rim. Examples of clips are the en bloc clips of the M1 Garand that are inserted into the magazine well and the stripper clips used to load rounds directly into the magazines of Mauser, Enfield and 03 Springfield rifles, or into the DBMs of AR, M14 or FN-FAL rifles.

Magazines solidly surround the ammunition on all sides but one. There are box magazines of both the fixed and detachable types and tube magazines commonly found on lever action rifles, shotguns and various 22 rimfire rifles.

Some may feel the proper use of nomenclature isn't important but it is. Otherwise, we'll find or favorite firearm has been banned because it has a barrel shroud which is one of those fold up shoulder things making it an assault weapon
 
Perhaps their web page nerd isn't a gun guy / gun gal. They were probably hired for their computer prowess, not their firearm knowledge.
 
Marlin has used the term "clip fed" for all their detachable box magazine rifles for many years. The late Col. Charles Askins has written in his unique style, "But there's them as likes lotsa ca'tridges in the clip." :D As for the whole "clip vs. magazine" business, I care just barely enough to post about it. :rolleyes: I know what you meant, for crying out loud!
 
Clippy

Clippy is an annoying software feature (animated paperclip help agent) that shipped as an integral part of Microsoft Office some years ago, turned on by default.

It may still be there for all I know, but at least it's no longer on by default.

Oh, and MS Word is, of course, used to write magazines.

Solved!

:D

 
Here's something: Springfield M1A's have both a magazine and a cleat for a stripper clip. I guess you can load an installed magazine using a stripper clip (when the bolt is in the open position, of course!).

I'll let you know. I'll be getting an M1A real soon.
