Are there any semi auto rifles other than the SKS that have a fixed magazine and load from strip clips? The only other rifles that load that way that I can think of are bolt action.

Damn, wrong area. Mods can this be deleted or moved to the rifle forum?

M1 Garand! Not a stripper clip, though. En-bloc clips are better!

FN-49

Egyptian Hakim

Pedersen Rifle.

 

Although, like the M1, it loads from an En-bloc.

 

Good question!

If you want to split hairs, an M14 is semi auto and can feed from clips.

 

Edit: SVT 40

are you doing this for compliance reasons? you want to maintain some other 'evil' features?

 

if so, you can do a fixed magazine mod for the AR-15. These were popular in new york during the AWB (not sure if still so), but basically, it's a permanently fixed magazine that's loaded by removing the takedown pin, and hinging the upper away from the lower. The beauty of this design is that you can use clips (via a strip-lula type device) to load the mag quickly.
