The invention relates to firearms (mainly sports and hunting) and is a magazine-fed firearm in which the magazine is located behind the trigger and at the angle to the vertical plane. This solution allows to reduce the length of the firearm, while not complicating the process of installing the magazine.

A firearm magazine sleeve, having a sleeve assembly. The sleeve assembly has a sleeve forward wall, a sleeve aft wall having an aft top edge, first and second sleeve lateral walls, a bottom edge, a sleeve lip, and a sleeve internal face. The sleeve assembly further has top walls. The top walls have first and second top lateral walls, a top forward wall, a top aft wall, corners, an interior edge, and a top edge, whereby the top walls extend from the sleeve lip to the top edge. The top walls extend from the sleeve lip to form a perimeter, which encapsulate a magazine tube assembly and prevent the magazine tube assembly from flexing or deforming from impact forces. The sleeve assembly mounts onto the magazine tube assembly and secures onto the a magazine base assembly.

The invention relates to firearms and is aimed at improving the ergonomics of guns, by reducing the overall length and providing ease of the installation of the magazine.

These results are achieved by the fact, that the receptacle of the magazine is located above the trigger guard, and the magazine is placed in the receptacle of the magazine through the hole on the side surface of the firearm.

A magazine identifier is provided. The magazine identifier is an endless band having a front surface, a rear surface, a first side surface, a second side surface, an inner surface, an upper rim and a lower rim. The endless band is formed of a material with rubber elasticity. For example, the endless band may be made of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, silicone or any material with a similar elasticity to rubber. The endless band is placed over a magazine of a firearm to identify the type of ammunition carried within the magazine and the owner of the magazine.

A magazine well formed in a lower receiver of a firearm is provided. The firearm may be a rifle and particularly a tactical rifle such as, but not limited to an AR-15. The magazine well accepts more than one type of magazine. Each type of magazine operates to hold a size of ammunition that differs from the other magazines. This allows users to shoot varying sized or caliber ammunition from the same firearm by simply changing the magazine that is loaded with varying size or caliber ammunition.

A magazine assembly for a firearm and a related method are disclosed. The assembly has a magazine housing defining a track, and a follower assembly. The magazine housing is configured to constrain a cartridge as the cartridge is moved within the magazine assembly such that majority of a proximal surface area of the cartridge does not contact the magazine housing, and a distal tip of the cartridge does not contact the magazine housing.
