  • Magazine and feed mechanism for firearms
    Patent number: 6257115
    Abstract: A magazine and compact feed mechanism for firearms includes an end cap on the magazine to keep cartridges from falling out and a stop mechanism for preventing a rotating cartridge transfer disk from traveling beyond 90°. The magazine is placed in a horizontal position so that it is parallel to the barrel and includes an end cap that is shaped to prevent cartridges from inadvertently falling out of the magazine. A spring-loaded cover may also be added to the magazine for further protection. Cartridges from the magazine are delivered to a rotatable transfer disk by an injector arm driven by the recoil of the slide mechanism. A rotatable cartridge transfer disk is also driven by the recoil of the slide mechanism and functions to receive the cartridge from the horizontal magazine and rotate it 90° so as to present it properly to the breech mechanism so that it can be presented to the barrel.
