I recently acquired an Olongapo Outfitters M1 Clip holder for my Garand. Thanks to NMMI9100 for this product heads up!
It holds 2 en-bloc M1 Garand clips.
We ran it thru the paces at the last Rifleman's Boot Camp  at the NRA's Whittington Center in Raton, New Mexico.
It is simple and effective and is now a part of my Garand. Most people will immediately want one for their Garands.
They run about $25 FRN's and are vastly more useful than the worthless cash in your pocket needed to purchase one. Brownell's has em' here:

The install took less than 5 minutes after the rifle was separated from the stock.
The good news is that it fits over a standard cheek piece.
It does not affect your cheek weld either.
You don't even have to break your cheek weld or take your eyes off the target as you reach back, unflap it, pull it out and insert the clip in the rifle. How cool is that!
It does take a bit of practice to be smooth, but that is easily mastered.

When combined with a bayonet and a 10 clip bando, it makes for a formidable grab n' go package.
Here are some pics.

Olongapo offers MANY other pouches as well as a 12 clip grab and go thats also a bag. i have that as well as the cheek piece pouch. 14 clips of ammo and a small stash of goodies inside the bag makes a VERY nice package. they make GOOD stuff. like a modern Riflemans possibles bag.

I've also got both. Top notch gear! They're a mom & pop outfit & delivery is slow, but the quality is well worth the wait.

"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

The forum is but a blank slate that records what we type.  If it sucks, why is that?  Anyone have an extra mirror for people?
