I am looking for a clip...

bsebast · January 2002

I am looking for a clip for a Winchester Model 69A. The rifle is a gift from a relative but the clip has been lost. Does anyone have an extra, or know where I might find one? Respond here on this thread, or email me direct at bsebast@airmail.net Thanks, Bill

Winchester 69A takes the same magazine as the model 52 and is available from Brownell's for as little as $10.00, see page 126, stock #533-400-567, catalog number 54.

Also ther is Triple K Clips in SanDiego that makes any kind of clip.I havn't used them for years but I think they are still around.

Didn't know that the Winchester 69A used a clip?????I thought that it used a magazine.Repeat this 100 times:"A MAGAZINE IS NOT A CLIP"

I suppose a revolver ain`t a pistol..218

Like "shootist" said- A magazine is not a Clip. It drives me crazy when the two are confused. "My personal problem".

Semantics,you knew what he meant.

burn1bob · January 2002

to anyone that really cares,why is it, then, that gunbroker, aa, ga, and everyone else lists them as magazines/clips? > bob

He Dog · January 2002

Bob that is magazines and clips.

218Beekeep · January 2002

So what is a clip?.218

SXSMAN · January 2002

A clip as in stripper clip,as used in fixed well mags.Yes?Also some revolvers use moon clips instead of speed loaders.

Shootist3006 · January 2002

A clip is a piece of metal (normally, I guess it could be a plastic but I've never seen one) that is used to charge the (internal) magazine of a firearm. There are 4 types of clips that I am aware of, there may be others. #1 is a stripper clip, may feed into the firearm as with the Mauser action where the clip is positioned above the magazine and the rounds are pushed from the stripper clip into the magazine (also used to charge detachable magazines which will be described later). #2 is the internal feed clip a single stack clip looking similar to the stripper clip and is used in some European and Japanese rifles where the clip itself is inserted into the rifle, the rifle strips the rounds and ejects the used clip out of the bottom of the rifle. #3 is the en-block clip used in the M1 Garand where a c-shaped clip is used to hold a parallel stack of rounds internal to the rifles magazine. #4 is the 1/2 and full moon clips used to hold rimless cases in some pistols.Magazines are EXTERNAL feeding devices which are attached and removed for the purpose of loading or unloading a firearm..218, I hope this helps.

THIS SOUNDS LIKE AN ARGUMENT OVER ANTLERS AND HORNS. IF YOU KN0W WHAT IS MEANT WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE??? MAYBE WE JUST NEED TO LEARN HOW TO SPEAK AND WRITE OUR OWN LANGUAGE. CARL

Shootist3006 · January 2002

shootist,I learned something tonight from this board again. And my son thinks I'm too old to learn!Jeff

cbxjeffIt's too late for me, save yourself.

If pistols are semi-autos, is a Contender a revolver?

timberbeast · January 2002

A Contender is a small rifle. Stir, stir.

218Beekeep · January 2002

How long has the word 'Pistol' been around?

Shootist3006 · January 2002

Bee, the whole pistol and revolver thing started when Sam Colt wanted to distinguish his 'revolving pistol'. Too many letters for his ads so he started calling it a revolver. Name stuck as a way to seperate them from the single shot pistols common at the time. Some 60 odd years later, John Browning comes along and the phrase semi-automatic self-loading pistol was a bit much for the newspaper folks so they revived the older distinction between revolvers and pistols.Of course today's news folk are re-inventing things, just 3 days ago one of the local news bimbos was talking about a gunman armed with a "revolver" while the TV showed a 1911A1. Course it was just a news CLIP and not an article in a MAGAZINE.P.S. sorry 'bout the spelling, too late and too lazy!

biganimal · January 2002

I was raised calling them "magazines" but my 340 savage has a magazine that states right on it "clip- 30/30" so call em up and tell em they're wrong!!!!!!
