Mr. Eisenberg. Would you deduce, therefore, that the clip—that someone wishing to shoot that rifle and use a clip in the rifle would have purchased the clip later?

Mr. Frazier. They would have to acquire it from some source, yes.

Mr. Eisenberg. Is it commonly available?

Mr. Frazier. Yes, sir.

Mr. McCloy. Can you use that rifle without the clip?

Mr. Frazier. Yes; you can.

Mr. McCloy. What is the advantage of the clip?

Mr. Frazier. It permits repeated firing of the weapon without manually loading one shot at a time.

Mr. McCloy. The only other way you can fire it is by way of manual load?

Mr. Frazier. Yes, sir; one shot at a time.
