2 and 5 round En Bloc clips
- Thread starter Andronicus
- Start date
Two round clips aren't really needed. They were designed to be used in firing ten shot timed matches, to make loading easier under pressure.
What most competitors did was to insert an empty clip at the Load command, and then two loose rounds, chambering one.
After firing the two rounds, the rifle was quickly reloaded with a standard clip.

I've been searching for years for the 5 round clips as I'd like to use my Garand to run the Cabin Fever Challenge without the hassle of ejecting partial clips at each position change. I've seen tutorials online for making them, but the results seem mixed at best
Creedmore Sports ships to Canada last time I used them (couple a years admittedly)

You can make them easily enough with the right tools, but it is a bit of work and you loose out on an 8 rounder when you do so.

Thanks for that beltfed!
Thanks. It looks like they I deed do ship to Canada. They are out of stock on the 5 rounders, but have the 2 rounders.
I've also had good experiences with Creedmoor Sports over the last several years. I've picked up the 5 rounder, 2 rounder as well as the single shot, as well as lots of other parts.
Good folks to deal with.

I got my 5 round clips from Creedmoor Sports as well, though it was close to 15 years ago now. Excellent quality products and the service was very good back then.
What do you use the single shot clip for?

I picked it up with an existing order from them because I didn't have one. I also have one of the pot metal (I think it is) training clip, that operates in the same manner, allowing you to insert a dummy bloc and single feed the rifle.

The SLED, Single Loading Ejecting Device was used to make that M1 Garand think it was an M14. Don’t ask to to explain how the disconnector and clip guide and other parts worked, but long story short…..
I felt like during my slow / deliberate fire stages of the match , I just had to push the fresh cartridge down into the “right” hand feel like and yank my op rod handle back , or more alike give it a slap backwards just like my M14 ( we owned real TRW M14 rifles back in 1985) and the bolt stripped that round free, as if I was using an M14.
I still have that SLED. These days it’s parked after teaching M14 Clinics for decades.
Life was very good almost 40 years ago!
Peace Be The Journey!

Creedmoor is out of stock of the 5 round clips. I emailed them and they say they are having a difficult time getting them ordered. (the supplier is not returning emails). Don't hold your breath that they will be back in stock. So I ordered a couple of the two round clips.
Mostly I want to give friends the PING experience without spending $16 on ammo. So the two round clip will work fine for that.
I've never heard of 10 round M1 clips. Are you sure they're 10 rounds and not 8?
