There should be a mandatory pre-SHOT orientation meeting with all exhibitors, explaining the difference between clips and magazines.

Ad says magnesium. There aren't any magnesium smelters left in the U.S. due to a tariff change a few years back. Buy something American.

Looked at their site. Somebody really fucked up. Emailed them and complained.
Hello, A subject was brought up on a large firearms forum I frequent about errors on your website regarding magazines. You have them described as "magazine clips". A magazine is not a clip. Why would you do this? Hopefully you will correct this and stop reinforcing ignorance in the shooting community. If you could respond, it would be most appreciated. Thank you. Mike |

You nancy's need to calm down about this magazine/clip thing. It is correct that magazines and clips are two different things that serve two different purposes, but the term "clips" is a common slang form of magazines.

After two years in the army, I've gotten used to magazines being referred to as clips.
I even slip every now and then. It doesn't really bug me anymore, and everyone knows what your talking about. |

This is one of the silliest arguments on this site. Anyone who as left the house knows that "clips" has become interchangeable with "magazines" in common use. Sure [pinky finger in the air] it is not technically correct, but everyone knows that is meant by the term.
If I was Remington I might very well think to myself that my mostly hunting customer base is used to calling them clips and if that's what they call them that's what I'll call them on the website.
