Abstract: Magazine extensions have an extension body having a floor panel, a right side wall, and an opposed left side wall, and a front wall, the right and left side walls each including linear engagement facilities each configured to engage the floor plate attachment facility, the extension body defining a chamber between the right and left side walls and rear of the front wall, and open in an upward direction, the linear engagement facilities being operable to constrain movement of the extension body between an attached condition in which the chamber is registered with the internal passage, and a detached condition, a door slidably and removably connected to the extension body and having an upper door edge, the door movable between an attached condition in which the door spans between front or rear portions of the right and left side walls, and a detached condition.

Abstract: Magazines with guard elements have a tubular body having a lower end and an upper end and defining an interior space, the body having opposed lateral sidewalls, and opposed front and rear walls, at an intermediate portion along the length of the body between the upper and lower ends, a sidewall defining a magazine catch opening, the magazine catch opening having an upper limit including a downwardly-facing ledge surface configured to engage a latch, and a recessed guard element at the magazine catch opening configured to prevent intrusion of the firearm latch into the interior space. The recessed guard element may protrude into the interior space. The tubular body may have a wall thickness adjacent to the recessed guard element, and the recessed guard element may have the same wall thickness. The tubular body may be formed of an articulated sheet.

Abstract: Magazine floor plates have a tubular body defining an elongated passage and having a lower end and an upper end, a floor plate element connected to the lower end, a follower movable within the elongated passage, a spring within the passage having a first end contacting the floor plate element, and having an opposed second end contacting and biasing the follower toward the upper end of the body. Downward force exerted by the spring on the floor plate element retains the floor plate element in an installed position relative to the lower end of the body. The floor plate element may have a width narrower than the elongated passage. The floor plate element may be connected to the lower end of the body by rails on the lower end of the body. The floor plate element may have an upward protrusion.
