@ford762 the m1 didnt have stripper clips, a stripper clip just holds the bullets, it is where the shells are pushed into the rifle, leaving the clip behind, striping the clip, and where did you get 6 rounds in a springfield? maybe if you carry one in the chamber, but it is known as a 5 round rifle, you dont count whats in the chamber
i dont know if you was messing wit cubensis, because he removed his comment, but yes, no tours in ww2, you served until wars end, killed, or badly wounded

@cubensis4059 Toll house Cookies?? I don’t know, but i’m perplexed by your Incredible Uncle who raised the flag on Iwo in 1945, than had the courage to fight 2 more wars for 20-30 years, quite an impressive service career

My Uncle raised the flag on Iwo Jima..2 tours in wwII,2 tours in Korea….and a tour in Nam..all I can go by is his words.I would hope that a professional killer knew what gun he was shooting,6 round BAR….before the 20 round clip!!!When the Garand arrived it was still NOT his choice.
Porter you know your guns man…so some trivia…what did every kid in vietnam write home and ask for???hint…was not issued by the U.S military.

Back to the BAR,in the pacific theatre in WWII,the Japanese would wait for the emphatic sound of a BAR clip being ejected,,,,,,,and rush the rifleman between reclips,so the US grunts learned a little trick!!!They caried an empty clip and would fire a few rounds and toss the empty clip to the ground…the sound would bring an onslaught of enemy…haha…the clip in the BAR was not empty and ejected,the sound of the empty clip was a great trick..to “bring em on in a rush…alas..EZ kills!

I just realized you might be talking about the M1 Carbine… That was Jonathan “Ed” Browning, brother to John M. Browning (the maker of the BAR and others). And where you got the “God of battle” line I have no idea… Patton called the M1 Garand “The greatest implement of battle ever devised.”

@bigsoxfan2 J.M.Browning did not design the M1 That was John C. Garand (hence its name the M1 “Garand”) And the HMG-50 is actually called the Browning M2. Also there is the M1918(A1, A2) BAR (military) and the B.A.R./ B.A.R. II (modern sporting rifle, nothing in common with the other BAR other than name). And its not the length of the rifle that “saves kids”, if someone is determined they can work around a long barrel. Teach your kids how to handle firearms and they will be safe no matter what.

moron, there is a BAR and there is a BAR for hunting, like the one you used. Thankfully, the entire gun is so long that rather than putting the barrel under your chin. Thank the lord for long assed rfles, saves our children from blowing off their chins. The Army Bar, used a twenty round clip and a hell of a recoil spring, made by John Browning one big assed gun designer, he delivered the HMG-50 which carries his name, not to mention the M-1 rifle, called by Gen Patton the “god of battle”
