I'm confused… some people seem to be indicating they have bought rifles, but I've yet to see where they are listed for sale…?????
 
do you know where I could buy a 22lr clip for an older TOZ mod 78, it has sort of a flare at end of barrel. My email address is douglas_81@live.com. Thanks Doug

Actually;

According to the current Webster's dictionary, they are the same. They have been the same for many years already.

It says quite plainly that "clip" is a commonly used word for "magazine".

The dictionary is updated yearly. This year "selfie" was one of the new words added.

Try to keep up.
 
As for your picture;

I could post a picture of a Glock clip/magazine and a CZ clip/magazine.

Both are clips/magazines, but they are not interchangeable with each other.

Well, a clip is short for a "stripper clip" such as is used with an SKS and many other older military rifles. Many newer rifles utilize stripper clips to quickly load the detachable magazines. It is a speed loader of sorts. A magazine is a separate, not always detachable, container that holds cartridges. Additionally, an SKS has a magazine that is filled by use of a stripper clip and an AR-15 can also have it's magazine charged by use of a stripper clip. Not a single firearm ever invented is fed by a "clip" but can be magazine fed. A clip is a tool for charging the magazine, not a device for feeding cartridges into the action of a firearm. A clip is not a magazine. Period. A magazine feeds cartridges in to the action of a firearm. No matter what a community online dictionary decides.
