Provided is an ammunition container lid for use with an ammunition canister. The container lid includes a four-sided frame, a cover, a hinge assembly, a feed tray, a latch, and a Last Round Switch. The hinge assembly includes a repeating pattern of ammunition can hinge sections, feed tray hinge sections, and cover hinge sections with a rod holding the sections together. The lid has an integrated aerodynamic forward face that matches the curvature of the ammunition can. The feed tray assembly is incorporated into the container lid to prevent a reduction in ammunition can capacity. The cover and feed tray rotate on the same axis, thereby resulting in simplified, ergonomic operation, which eliminates the problems inherent in current designs that can open directly into the airstream during flight. The inventive lid does not require special tools for installation/removal and does not reduce ammunition can capacity.

An apparatus that can be added to a conventional firearm magazine which safely stores an ammunition cartridge for loading into a break action type firearm. The loader is slidably, removably, or fixedly attached to a magazine so that the magazine can be released from the frame of the firearm and used as a grip for loading the round of ammunition into the chamber of a tip-up barrel, or any break action firearm. The loader stores an ammunition cartridge in the correct orientation for quickly loading the cartridge into the chamber of a tip-up pistol barrel, or any break-action firearm barrel.

A shotgun shell carrier includes two clips on opposite ends of a bracket, for holding two shells end to end. Each clip has a shell end compartment for receiving an end portion of a shelf. Each clip has a hood that extends over the shell end compartment to block longitudinal movement of the shell out of the clip.

The invention provides an ammunition storage box that stores and loads multiple successive rows of ammunition cartridges into firearms magazines. The box includes an interior channel and multiple openings that lead into the channel. The channel is configured to host and dispense cartridges into a firearms magazine interfaced with the box via a proximal opening, which leads into the channel. The box also includes cartridge slots, recessed into the box and convergent with the channel, configured to host cartridges. The box also includes an obstruction block configured to selectively engage within the channel and obstruct cartridges hosted within the cartridge slots from moving into the channel. The box also includes a rod, configured to slideably engage within the channel and displace obstruction blocks or cartridges within the channel out from the channel. The rod is also configured to encapsulate the cartridge slots when expanded into the chamber.

A holder device for holding objects includes a holder body, a moveable carrier element, and a force generating system tending to move the carrier element in a first direction to a first position when the carrier element is in a second position away from the first position. The carrier element constitutes a trough having a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the first direction, a wider area closer to a bottom of the trough, and a narrower area farther from the bottom of the trough. When the carrier element is in the first position, a rim of the holder body closes the trough so that the objects cannot be moved in the longitudinal direction to and from the trough. When the carrier element is in the second position, the objects can be moved in the longitudinal direction to and from the trough.

Methods and apparatus are provided for a passive locking device for preventing an ammunition belt from sliding across the top of an internal wall of an ammunition magazine used in conjunction with a belt feed weapon. In one embodiment the passive locking device is movable between a locked position in which a locking end is in close proximity to the top of the internal wall, and an unlocked position in which the locking end is spaced apart from the top of the wall.
