Don't call 'em clips, you'll have the old geezers up in arms...lol
Mags (box mag) from the 10-round OEM Marlin & 25-round Shooter's Ridge mag are backwards compatable.
The biggest difference between the 795 & 989/989M2/70/70HC/70P/995/etc..is the magwell bump.
The bump prevents older 12-round OEM Marlin & 20-round Ramline mags (pre-1994) from being used in the 795,
due to the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994, (thank you Bill Clinton, you bum) which expired in 2004 (YAY!)
Good cleaning & polishing instructional here...shows the Magwell Bump as well.

For those that don't have the bump, they can use the newer (post-1996) magazines.
Sometimes you have to play with 'em a little, some have reported that the new Shooter's Ridge
mags require a little backwards pressure to work right, so you slip in a piece of foam tape in the magwell
for proper function.
