What was the last clip-loading rifle ever designed?

[CapnMac]

I suppose the various Japanese machine guns were clip fed. Was this carried to any post war designs?

Some, not all of the Japanese MGs were "clip" fed. (The collectors would probably tell you that all the "interesting" one were, though [].) The Type 92 started life using long (40-50cm?) loading strips, but was later belt fed.
The Type 96 used a "Bren style" top mounted magazine.

Now, the Type 11 was spiffy. It actually used rifle strippers (5 rounds?) that were piled in a hopper. It turns out that an open topped hopper feeding rounds to an oiler is not horrible on the Mongolian steppe, but less than ideal in jungle terrain.

Stripper clip in a fixed magazine gun? Spanish FR8?

I believe they were converted1919 Mausers (and the FT7 from 1893 Mausers) but technically they were re-designed in the 50s making them newer than the SKS
