A firearm magazine assists loading of a housing with ammunition. The ammunition inserts into an opening in the top of the housing against a follower. The follower creates tension on the ammunition to direct the ammunition towards the opening. An adjustable plate contacts the spring to load the spring against the follower. The adjustable plate adjusts between a use position and a load position. The use position provides appropriate force to load the ammunition into the chamber. The plate adjusts away from the follower to decrease the tension of the spring and the follower to load the magazine.

Examples of a self-releasing magazine and a magazine follower assembly thereof for firearms are described. The magazine follower assembly includes a casing and a self-releasing actuator received in the casing. When in use, the magazine follower assembly generally moves along a first axis with respect to the casing between a first position in the magazine when the magazine is fully loaded and a second position in the magazine when the magazine contains no ammunition cartridge. When the magazine follower assembly is at the second position in the magazine, the self-releasing actuator is configured to actuate a magazine release mechanism of the firearm to disengage the magazine from the firearm so that the magazine is detachable from the firearm.

A Pack & Load ammunition packaging and loading device, containing thirty round, with a coupling mechanism for directly and mechanically loading ammunition rounds into standard rifle and pistol magazines. The device has a cup to engage the magazine and a pusher mechanism to quickly force the ammunition into the magazine as it mechanically feeds the round from the sleeve of the device made of a clam shell set of side rails coupled with a hinge on one side and interlocking teeth on the other. Filament brushes in the cup retain the ammunition and the device has a removable tab and slot to enable partial fills from the device. It eliminates the manual feed and quickly places the rounds into a standard magazine ready for use.

An anti-spring fatigue firearm magazine incorporates a lower magazine sleeve that can be positioned into an extended configuration relative to the main magazine body in order to reduce or eliminate spring fatigue from extended storage while fully loaded with ammunition.

An improved rifle includes a magazine body attached to the rifle, and a base plate releasably and slidingly engaging the magazine body and forming a base of the magazine body. A release is provided to unlock the base plate when actuated by a user of the rifle. The base plate is configured to move away from the magazine body when unlocked, thereby exposing an inner chamber of the magazine body for insertion of an ammunition stripper clip thereinto.
