Magazine - A spring-operated reservoir compartment for holding cartridges waiting to be fed into the chamber of a repeating firearm; often removable. Above: Looking down into the non-rermovable magazine of a Mauser Model 1898 rifle action.

Tubular magazine fitted to the underside of a Winchester rifle barrel.

Below: The removable magazine from a Colt Model 1911 pistol. Often erroneously called a Clip.

Magazine Follower - A plate, mounted to the top of a spring, inside a magazine, over which cartridges may slide smoothly as they are guided into the chamber of a repeating firearm. In the above magazine, the follower is the plate with the tiny tit in the center. In the top photo of the Mauser action, the follower is the jeweled plate visible inside the magazine well.

Clip - A simple, disposable narrow spring-lined channel-rail in which cartridges are supplied for military weapons. The shooter positions the clip vertically above the firearm's magazine, then pressing down with the thumb, slides the cartridges from the clip and down into the magazine. Also: Stripper Clip or Charger.
