M1 Garand Clip Codes
**Note that most WW2 produced clips were used on post war production ammo as many were excess at the end of WWII or were reused by depots. IS coded clips are a good example as they were only produced in WW2 but in such quantity that the Ordnance Dept. used them through the 1950s until supply was exhausted.
