That’s why I passed up a CMP M1. I’m holding out for an M1A. Mag fed just makes more sense to me.

This is my M1-A with bipod, 30-round magazine and night scope.

Add to that you’re getting the M1 from the government.

Clips have one advantage: they're cheap and compact. For the cost of one M1A mag, you can get a bunch of clips, a large number will fit in an ammo box, and they retain their tension for years. Having a large number of loaded clips might be useful if TSHTF.

CMP M1's, these are both Springfield.
Recommend getting one or two or a bunch before they're all gone.
