additionally, what one might call a ‘magazine’ for a Garand is technically called an “En Bloc Clip”......
Respectfully, I have never heard any knowledgaable person refer to a Garand clip as a magazine.
And I have been around Garands a long time.

I never implied it either. The uninititated might call them magazines such as a writer, and I only remarked about the clip aspect and how its main loading ability is through en bloc clips.
I also have been around Garands a long time. First time in 1968 when using them in funeral detail for returning fallen soldiers from Vietnam (before I went overseas).
Since then I’ve built and reworked a few of them to include rebarreling, timing, recrowning, and repairing various parts. I’ve amassed the customary tools and books, and I still have my best 4.
