I recently worked on a 46-420 Hippo I had laying around. It didn’t have a back, so I ordered a replacement. I wasn’t sure if the clips would come with it. Well, they didn’t.

So I thought about it for a few days, and perused the interwebs…

Today I remembered I had some old 1905 Springfield stripper clips laying around. I pulled the spring inserts from the clips. With a 1/8” drill bit, a block of wood, and a vice I formed some clips to go on the back and hold it in place. They’re not necessarily pretty, but they retain enough spring to hold the back in place.

I’m kinda surprised somebody hasn’t had a fabricator make some of these up. Seems there would be a good demand for them.
