A magazine for a firearm comprises a tubular magazine body defining a cavity for holding cartridges, a spring, and a follower biased by the spring for dispensing cartridges from the magazine. A spring base disposed on the body includes a cantilevered resiliently deformable spring arm supporting the spring in one embodiment. The base is held in place by the floor plate. Sliding the floor plate onto the magazine body engages an inclined ramp of the floor plate with spring arm which automatically moves the spring arm from an undeflected to deflected position. When the floor plate is fully coupled to the magazine tube such that the spring arm clears the ramp, the spring arm snaps back to the undeflected position and locks the floor plate in place on the tubular body via interlocked retention features without use of tools.

Cartridge ramps formed with angled/bevelled surfaces integrated to one another at points where three elements intersect in the inner sides of the magazine, upper frame and barrel bearing, without using an additional mechanical configuration on the magazine or lower frame, in rifles with vertical magazine/vertical cartridge chamber.

A recoilless, slideless repeating magazine-fed (19) weapon, comprising a hammer (9), a hammer pull rod (7), a trigger spring (8) and a safety (28). The open breech (15) connects directly to the open, expanding cross-section funnel (18), and furthermore the funnel (18) has an extractor (24) on the side which connects to the forend (21) through a funnel pull rod (20), and furthermore the magazine (19) is connected to the magazine well (19/1) at the bottom of the open breech (15) with a magazine holding pin (19/6). The weapon is compatible with a variety of magazines (19), including box magazines (with one or more rows of cartridges), drum magazines, or helical magazines.

A handgun has a grip portion defining a magazine well, the grip portion having a web region configured to be grasped between a thumb and an index finger, a forward portion of the web region defining a first width. The grip portion also has a palm region configured to be grasped by a user's palm, the palm region defining a second width greater than the first width. A magazine is configured to be received in the magazine well and includes a hollow magazine tube with a single-stack portion and a double-stack portion positioned below the single-stack portion. For example, front portions of the opposite tube sidewalls have a stepped shape between the upper tube end and the double-stack portion.

A magazine for a firearm with a magazine well and a reciprocating bolt. A body of the magazine is engaged within the well and has a top, interconnected front, sides and rear walls, and a bottom defining a cartridge holding interior. A spring supported within the interior contacts the bottom and upwardly biases a follower positioned atop the spring toward an opening in the top, through which the cartridges are loaded into the magazine. A feed tower integrated into the top supports a pair of feed lips positioned along opposed edges defining the opening. An aperture is formed in the top rearward of the feed tower. A rear upward projection of the follower aligns with the aperture and, following discharge of a final cartridge, elevates above the top in order to actuate a separate bolt catch or bolt hold open adaptor to prevent a forward returning motion of the bolt.

A bolt action rifle having a receiver; a bolt in slidable communication within said receiver, having an elongated body and a bolt head at a first end, and an exposed bolt face with a primer recess cavity having a base with a forward-facing surface, the base having an aperture therein, where the aperture is circumscribed by the forward-facing surface for receiving a propellant charge having an extended primer cap, and a firing pin within the bolt and movable between a disengaged position wherein a firing pin head is receded within the aperture and an engaged position wherein the firing pin head extends beyond the forward-facing surface into the primer recess cavity.
