old Sneaky Pete here: When I carried an M1 Garand in the Marines in the 50s Except for the "Rapid Fire Phases" all other Record and Familiar strings were fired "Single Shot" No clip. Load 1 round at a time and Watch your Thumb when you let the bolt fly. The only time the clips came in handy was when you wanted to put a lot of round down range fast--like in combat. and now at club matches in all the slow fire phases loading a full clip + a 2round clip is NOT allowed. Hell that's the same wth the "Mouse Guns" 1 round at a time, the same with the "Bolt Gunners . THANX--SNEAKY
