  • the means employed to this end preferably consists of two pairs of longitudinal ribs of gradually increasing' or taper ing cross-section, provided on the two opposite side walls of the top end of the magazine tube, the upper ends of the ribs being wider and projecting farther into theroom of the magazine tube than the lower ends thereof due to the tapering shape of the ribs.
  • the front ribs of the .two pairs that is to say, the two opposite ribs nearest the barrel end of the firearm, are shaped to project to a farther extent into the room of the magazine tube, in accordance with 'a pre- ⁇ determined ratio, than the rear ribs of the two pairs.
  • a still further object of the present invent-ion resides in an improved construction of the follower employed in connection with the improved magazine.
  • a particu lar element or member is employed for stopping the follower or limiting the number of cartridges to be insert-ed into the magazine.
  • the follower is provided with downwards Vextending shanks adapted to guide both itself and the controlling spring and to act at the same time as a stoppin@ means for automatically limiting the numtber of cartridges to be inserted into the magazine, or in other words, to just strike on the fixed bottom of the magazine tube when in the loading operation the predetermined number of cartridges has been inserted into the magazine.
  • I K combine and realize in a very simple, efficient and inexpensive manner the two advantages of automatically limiting the predetermined load and reliably guiding both the follower and the controlling spring during the up and down movement thereof incident to the loading and discharging proceedings.
