When i was looking for parts for my brothers truck in a friends garage, and i found 2 ammo clips (empty of course). And i wanted to know what gun they were for, might make a good clip for a milsim marker project.

They're older style M16 mags. Mags of that style were used during the vietnam era until the mid 80's by some. Well, Im pretty sure the M16 mags. But it could be an M1 Carbine mag or something. -------------

Yeah, they look to be the older 20 rd M16 mags. They could also be M14 mags but you really can't tell as there is nothing to compare them with.

I'm going to say AR/M-16 as the catch is high up on the mag. For an SKS/AK derivative, it would be down lower as they mag sits high in the receiver but the release is lower on the body. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Um, the Magazines have nothing to do with the weapon's designation. That magazine can be used with any variant of the M16/M4/AR15 family. The A1 is a weapon variant not a magazine variant. -------------

those are too big for a m-16, the m-16 used in vietnam is a .223 and that looks more like a .308 size mag but a pic with a ruler and or somthing for size comparsin would be helpfull ------------- "FIRST THERE" a-5 16" J&J ceramic polished internals X7 low profile hopper costom painted 20 oz tank |

i was thinking m14, i think m16 is a little narrower...but like you said theres nothing to compare to. |

You missed the point. The designation "A1" has nothing to do with the magazine. A magazine is not dictated by the weapon variant. It is not an A1 magazine as it is not for the M16A1 variant exclusively. There is no such thing as an A1 magazine. Although 20rd magazines were commonly issued with A1 variant rifles, there were also 10 and 30 round mags issued with A1 rifles. I am almost positive that is a Magazine from the AR15 family of rifles. I was looking at a M-14 magazine from one of our colorguard rifles, and the top of the mag looks nothing like that. -------------

I was thinking it would be from the m14, but the top looks a lil different, and the spine is not centerd like most clips, it's on the right. i could take it apart, but dont know if that will help. And olskoolbully, it's not from an "m16a1" and you giving a short answer like that is not helping much. -------------

M-14 would have the mag catch a little lower as well though, it's a variant of the M1A1 action and stock (basically a select fire M-1 Garand with detachable mag). The upper receiver is a lot deeper on the M-14 and other M-1 variants meaning that the mag catch is lower. That's why I'm saying it's a Stoner mag. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig.

Correct me if im wrong, but the A1 uses a different round and has a different barrel than the A2. The different versions ie. M14, AR15 were made later. So, if thats the mag were taliking about it was originally made for the A1. I just dont want to call it a variant, because its a different gun. ------------- BULLY |

The clips are factory mags for a FN-FAL rifle.
You can tell my the catch, as they are unique for FN-FAL rifles. No doubt about it. FN-FAL used to be very common surplus rifles, as most of the free world used them in the 70s, but have become less common today. Stoner-based guns catch on the side, so its not any stoner derivative (ie AR15, M16, etc). Kalishnakov magazines are all curved. Not an AK47/74 magazine. SKS magazines have extender adapters, since they were never designed to use magazines. M14 magazines have a recessed catch, so while similar, they are different then the FN-FAL system nick |

I don't know what they go to just by the picture, if your just going to use it on a mil sim paintball gun what difference does it make anyway? Also, they are called magazines not clips. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals Lapco Accushot Kit Palmer's Stabilizer APE Rampage E-Grip Pure Energy HPA Tank OpsGear G-36 Folding Stock X-7 Hopper |

I really think the clips are from " http://www.galatiinternational.com/frankmachinegunday/49-FNFAL.jpg - FN-FAL " when i look at them there are identical. Good job "HP_Lovecraft" for finding it. http://www.keepshooting.com/productimages/firearmaccessories/magazines/rifles/fn_fal20metricmagbig.jpg - FN FAL mag (20 rounds of .308 (7.62x51) ammo) and thanks every one for helping out, much appreciated.
I can call them what ever i want. M.P.H (multiple projectiles holder) happy lol But still i want to find out what they came from, just because i want to know the history of the clips. -------------

You are completely wrong. The A! uses the exact same 5.56mm round as the A2 and all other M16 variants. Although the A1 did have a different barrel it shot the same ammo. HP_Lovecraft, good find. I didn't even think about the catch when I was looking at them. Does the FN FAL have a slide release or something? Never played with one.. -------------

i know it has been figured out already but just look at the size of the mag compaired to the keyboard/hand... you can tell it is larger than a 5.56...
MOST of the m16/ar15 type rifles shoot 5.56/.223 ammo (same size round) however some are chambered in .308 (7.62 nato) and i have seen at leaste one chambered in 7.62x39 however all standard m16 rifles issued by the US millatary (A1, A2, ect. are chambered in 5.56/.223) originally the gun was issued with 20rd mags and now 30rd mags... ------------- saving the world, one warship at a time. |

They come in a wide variety of chamberings, .308, .40 S&W, 9mm, .50, .44, .308 Win., Maybe even .30-06 but Im not sure. A Guns and Ammo mag I got (Literature you Idiots!) has a huge list of them. -------------

The gun that the AR-15 was based on was chambered for the 7.62X51, same bullet that the M-14 used. That gun was called the AR-10, and been around for about 50 years.
The military asked Stoner to redesign the AR-10 to fire 5.56, which became the AR-15. The reason was to reduce recoil, and weight (problems associated with the M-14). There are many versions. The 7.62X39 version is an excellent deer rifle, firing the same bullet as the AK-47. There are versions that fire pistol calibers, like 45ACP, and 9MM. They are very popular with police departments, as they can fire the same round as there pistols. (making logicistics much more simple). Russia has since switched from the AK-47 to the AK-74, which fires a smaller round like the M-16. nick |
