Hi, Mo,

OK, my confusion. Yes, there are notches for a clip in those Swiss rifles, probably with the idea that they could use a Mauser type clip if one was ever adopted, but AFAIK ammo was issued only in the cardboard type clip. But the question was whether a 7.62 NATO clip (as in the M14 rifle) could be used with a Swiss rifle and my response was no, it could not, nor can any of the conventional Mauser type clips, though the Swedish and Arisaka clips will accept Swiss ammo, as will the Springfield clip(!).

The video is of a new clip, of which I was unaware, made by that company, that fits only the Swiss rifles; again, AFAIK, nothing like it was ever Swiss military issue.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Jim
