Abstract: A lower-receiver type feeding device for belted ammunition cartridges. A lead cartridge of the belt is separated from its lead link at a central stripping station. A rocker-type transfer mechanism sequentially moves cartridges with connected link toward the central stripping station. The transfer mechanism is driven through a cam interface with the bolt-carrier group. A sheering lip is disposed at the central stripping station to engage the lead link directly below the lead cartridge and resist stripping forces when the lead cartridge is pushed through a first outlet for chambering. A mag well post slides into a magazine well of the firearm. A bolt catch extension is pivotally carried on the right pivot shaft to remotely activate the bolt catch. An end-of-link stop is joined to the end of the ammunition belt. The end-of-link stop comprised a dummy cartridge having a longitudinally extending groove.
