[QUOTE="rmark, post: 1056595, member: 3089"] I don't think it needs a clip. According to Rifles of the World by John Walter, conversion to the Italian Vitali magazine started in 1888 and involved adding a bolt mounted ejector and cutting away part of the feedway to accept a case containing 4 rounds. The magazine follower was propelled by a coil spring around a guide rod, giving the magazine its dinstictive shape. The line drawing in the book looks like you just feed the rounds from the top, being careful to keep the rims in the right order. [/QUOTE]
