I have many clips and chargers if people are interested in seeing them.Īs for the honourable profession of “Artificer”, they were certainly around in the Royal Navy up to and probably beyond 1980. I saw one of these special Garand clips last year in a Dutch collection but don’t have one yet. This is presumably for civilian use in those countries/states where an eight round magazine is unlawful. In more modern times special Garand clips were made, restricted to about three rounds capacity. DM sold the 8x56mm Mannlicher soft nose on five round chargers.
30 Mauser, also soft nose, on ten round clips.
Kynoch marketed 6.5 Mannlicher-Schoenauer, soft nosed, on the typical Pieper chargers and. Lots of sporting rifles and pistols used to have chargers, certainly in the UK. I doubt the military connection as these are all in pure sporting calibres. This was the first and only time I have seen the use of the word artificer. Army basic training handbook that belonged to my wife’s late uncle, they use the term Thanks for sharing!Īs for the term “Artificer”, In the 1944 dated U.S. I too would like to see if commercial ammunition was packed on chargers. While I have a passing knowledge of these rifles, I had no idea that they used chargers! I wonder if these were intended for civilian use or were part of an effort to sell these rifles to military organizations. The flat steel clip is late Remington production, probably post-1940 and a similar one was made for the larger calibres and will be marked for 300 and 35 calibre but I don The brass clips are standard production up to about 1940 the slots in the ends are so the sides can be nipped slightly inwards to provide extra grip to the cartridges. This variation is true for all the variants of these clips. This is because the latter clip is shorter end to end (the cartridges are of smaller head diameter), thus the 35 clip has to have a wider stop to prevent it from entering too far into the receiver, which is identical for all calibers.
35 Rem/.300 Savage has a wider stop than the one for the 25-30-32 calibres. 300 Savage was added to the range, and discontinued around 1951. The rifle design was improved to produce the model 81 in about 1936, when. 35 Remington cartridges introduced for the Model 8 in 1906. The markings on the clips refer to the calibre. I have had help in identifying them from Bob Taylor and Peter Mackinven, thanks to both of you. These are clips for the Remington 8 and 81 self loading rifles.
