Abstract: A magazine extension comprises an extension body having an open upper end configured to be slidably coupled with an open bottom end of a magazine tube for an ammunition magazine, a retaining member, and a base plate. The retaining member is removably receivable in a passage defined through a rear wall of the extension body to releasably secure the body to the magazine tube. A portion of the retaining member protrudes out of an upper end of the passage and overlaps a rear wall of the magazine tube to limit sliding movement of the tube relative to the extension body when the tube is coupled with the body and the retaining member is received in the passage. The base plate is configured to be slidably coupled with an open lower end of the extension body and obstruct a lower end of the passage to releasably secure the retaining member in the passage.

Abstract: A plastic product having magnetic properties and a method for making the same is provided. The method comprises creating a mixture of a nylon and a metal, melting the mixture to create a melted mixture of the metal suspended in the nylon, injecting the melted mixture into a mold to harden the melted mixture and shape the melted mixture into the product's shape, applying an electrical current to the mold while the mixture is in a viscous state to align the poles of the metal suspended in the nylon in the mixture in a single direction before the mixture has hardened, and applying a magnetic field to the hardened mixture to provide the product with magnetic properties.

Abstract: An improved apparatus for retaining a guitar pick is provided, which includes a ring with a magnetic component being attached, by a chain for example, to a guitar pick also including a magnetic component. The apparatus allows a performer to release or drop the guitar pick, either intentionally or unintentionally, and have the guitar pick be maintained in the performer's hand by its attraction to the magnetic component of the ring. The guitar pick may be made from a magnetic material, including for example stainless steel or a magnetic plastic.
