Watched a couple of his other videos and learned the difference between a clip, which was used to load the 1898 era Garand, and the Magazine we use today.

At about min. 16:20 in this video he shows how a clip of 30-06 rounds was used to load the Garand and he explains the history of the 30-06 designation of that caliber round. Interesting stuff!
