    I’m not even sure where to begin with your numbers. Here’s a picture of an M1 with standard clips.

      Oh, okay, the Garand uses an eight round clip, and the rounds aren’t inline. I thought that they were inline, and that each clip in the image was two four-round clips sitting atop each other. Well, today I learned something. Thanks.

      EDIT:

      .30-06 ammunition for the M1903, 1903A3, and M1917 rifles and the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) was issued in five round stripper clips

      That may be what I saw and confused it with, because those look pretty much exactly like the clip that I had thought went in the M1 Garand.

      Confused the clip on the US issue rifle for WW1 and WW2.
