What you maybe referring to is called a "stripper clip"

Some help load ammo into a detachable magazine quickly and then are thrown away. Or help load a rifle with a built in magazine quickly.
With the M1 the clip holds 8 rounds and the whole thing is inserted into the rifle, and as said in another post when the last shot is fired, the clip is automatically ejected and the rifle is ready for another clip.

Sorry for the bend in the op topic!
But these are "Details"
