While it may look snazzy, it is really not a good practice. The 8 round en block clip holds 2 rows of 4 cartridges each. The sling is pressed into the center of the two rows. When grabbing the clip in a hurry, it is possible to snatch the cartridges out of the clip, where they will go flying.

Do a search for Winchester M1 carbine... that will answer your questions.AnswerThe question was about the M1 Garand 30-06, not the .30 carbine. No it was not manufactured, but toward the end of WW2 some M1 rifles were modified in the field with the Browning 20-round box magazine.
