Thats not techically entirely accurate either. The M1 has an 8 round internal box magazine, fed from an en bloc clip. The part of the weapon that holds the rounds is still called a magazine. That said in the case of the M1, unlike some other weapons the clip stays in the magazine while firing and is needed for the rifle to do so ( that is fire rounds from the magazine ), in other words you can't load the mag a round at a time ( though you can still load and fire one round at a time ). This means that to get more rounds into and Garand you'd have to extend the magazine and the clip. It'd probably just be easier and more practical to convert it to take an external mag. Though at that point you almost might as well just use an M14.
