Speaking of stripper clips, did you happen to see Mythbusters last
night?


"Grip the mag tightly with one hand and pull the rounds into the clip
with the other. (For the lazy folks... you can also grip the mag and
push the rounds up against something instead of using your hand.)...As
you pull on the rounds, they will bend the small retaining tab on the
stripper clip and allow the rounds to feed into the mag. ...Keep
pulling until all the round have fed into the mag. Repeat the above
steps with new loaded stripper clips until the mag is loaded...."

Notice, they didn't say anything about putting a nice slice in your
fingers?

with exception of only 8 shots, (even quite practical) I always liked
loading my M-1's

I only got a minor case of "M-1 thumb" twice!
