  • a grip 128 (such as a pistol grip, as shown) allows the user to aim and control the firearm while placing the user's trigger index finger in close proximity to the trigger. In this manner, the user can aim the firearm to the target and extend the trigger index finger to engage the trigger without losing control or accuracy of the firearm.
  • assault-type firearms are configured to be operated as rifles and include a rifled barrel and are chambered to receiver and fire rifle cartridges.
  • the most ubiquitous civilian assault weapon the AR-15
  • the AR-15 is generally chambered for standardized rounds such as the Remington .223 cartridge or the 5.56 ⁇ 45mm NATO military cartridge.
  • magazines, and more importantly the magazine well configured to receive these magazines, of the AR-15 have been standardized, with such standardization being generally referred to as meeting United States Military Standards or, more commonly as being "mil-spec”.
  • Assault weapons, such as the AR-15 have also been modified to chamber and fire .410 bore shotgun shells.
  • these firearms suffer from a number of drawbacks.
  • shotgun shell magazine 120/120' of the present invention is configured to reside within the magazine well 118 of a mil-spec AR-15 firearm 100.
  • Shotgun shell magazine 120 includes a magazine body 130 that may be proportioned so as to define a 5 round magazine (i.e. can receive a maximum of five .410 bore shotgun shells 122). See FIG. 3 .
  • alternative capacity magazines such as a 15 round magazine 120' (see FIG. 4 ), may be constructed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention as will be discussed more fully below. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that magazines may be produced which include any desired capacity and that such alternative magazines are to be considered within the teachings of the present invention.
  • magazine 120' is generally comprised of a magazine body 130' defining a magazine cavity 132.
  • Cavity 132 is proportioned to receive one or more shotgun shells 122.
  • shotgun shells 122 are 2.5 inch long .410 bore shotgun shells filled with either shot or slugs.
  • the portion 134 of magazine body 130' may be slightly narrower than the remainder 136 of magazine body 130' so as to form a step 138.
  • Portion 134 is proportioned to be removably insertable within magazine well 118 (see FIG. 1 ) while step 138 abuts the lower periphery of magazine well 118 so that magazine 120' is properly loaded within magazine well 118.
  • portion 134 may include one more grooves 140 that mate with corresponding ridges (not shown) defined on the internal faces of magazine well 118 to ensure that magazine 120' is mounted within firearm 100 in the proper orientation.
  • top edge 142 of magazine body 130' generally defines an opening to cavity 132 such that shotgun shells 122 may pass out from magazine 120' and into chamber 124 of upper receiver assembly 112 (see FIG. 1 ).
  • a feed lip portion 144 of top edge 142 is configured to extend around and partially encircle the metal casing 146 at the rim end 148 of the top most shotgun shell 122.
  • a length 145 of feed lip portion 144 is proportioned to be less than about 25% of the total length 135 of portion 134 of magazine body 130', in more particularly about 20% of the total length 135.
  • shotgun shells 122 may be serially extracted from magazine by the bolt carrier (not shown) within the upper receiver assembly 112 without jamming or binding the shotgun shell 122 within magazine body 130' or chamber 124 as is known with current attempts at providing AR-15 magazines for .410 bore shotgun shells.
  • magazine body 130' may define a recess 150 configured and positioned such that the bolt carrier can engage metal casing 146 to slide the shotgun shell 122 beyond the feed lip portions 144. Once shotgun shell 122 clears the obstruction created by feed lip portions 144, the shotgun shell 122 can then be directed into chamber 124 for eventual firing.
  • top edge 142 may further include upwardly extending guide lips 156.
  • biasing member 162 may be a magazine spring as is known in the art.
  • the opposing end of biasing member 162 may be fastened to a floor plate 164 which in turn is secured to the bottom edge 166 of magazine body 130'.
  • Floor plate 164 may be directly fastened to bottom edge 166 or may be constrained within cavity 132 by a magazine base plate 168 which is fastened or physically bonded to bottom edge 166.
  • Biasing member 162 exerts a spring force against follower 160 such that the top most shotgun shell 122 is constrained within magazine body 130' by feed lip portions 144 as discussed above. Once a shotgun shell has been fired and the next subsequent shotgun shell extracted by the bolt carrier, follower 160 through urging of biasing member 162 advances the immediately next shotgun shell 122 until this next shell engages the feed lip portions. Shotgun shells 122 continue to load within chamber 124 upon repeated firing of the firearm 100 until such time the last shotgun shell is loaded into the chamber.
  • a magazine stop 170 resident within a stop cavity 172 defined within follower 160 may be biased outwardly via a stop biasing member 174 housed within combined bore 176a, 176b in follower 160 and stop 170, respectively (see FIG. 7 ).
  • the outwardly extending magazine stop 170 may then engage the bolt catch (not shown) in the lower receiver to stop the bolt's travel thereby enabling the bolt to be locked to the rear (toward buttstock 114).
  • the empty magazine can then be removed from magazine well 118 and a new, loaded magazine may then be inserted.
  • the bolt catch may then be disengaged such that the bolt carrier may strip the top most shotgun shell from the newly loaded magazine.
  • biasing member 174 is compressed by magazine stop 170 engaging the internal surface of magazine body 130' such that magazine stop rides along the internal surface until such time as the bottom most shotgun shell 122 is loaded within chamber 124 and magazine stop extends outwardly from recess 150 as described above.
  • follower 160 is configured include a ramped upper surface 180 extending at an angle 182 with respect to the plane 183 defined by top face 171 of magazine stop 170.
  • ramped upper surface 180 may be adapted to include a concave recess 184.
  • Concave recess 184 may be configured to have a radius equal to or slightly larger than the external circumference of a standard .410 bore shotgun shell 122.
  • shotgun shell 122 should nest within recess 184 such that rolling of shotgun shell 122 on ramped upper surface 180 is reduced, particularly once shotgun shell 122 has disengaged from feed lip portions 144 upon being loaded into chamber 124 as described above.
  • Ramped upper surface 180 of follower 170, coupled with feed lip portions 144, causes at least a portion of the closed (i.e. crimped or rolled) end 154 of top most shotgun shell 122 to extend externally from magazine body 130' at an angle 190 with respect to a plane 191 created by feed lip portions 144 while the metal casing 146 engages feed lip portions 144 (see FIG. 5 ).
  • upwardly extending guide lips 156 of magazine housing 130' aid in preventing lateral movement of the top most shotgun shell 122. Angling of the top most shotgun shell 122 in such a manner facilitates proper stripping and chambering of the shotgun shell by the bolt carrier during reloading of firearm 100.
  • follower 160 may include one or more downwardly extending legs 192a, 192b. These downwardly extending legs may facilitate placement and compressive loading of magazine biasing member 162. Magazine body 130' may include a plurality of indicator holes 194 (see FIGS. 4 and 7 ) which are spaced apart from one another such that as follower 160 is biased upwards through subsequent loading of successive shotgun shells as described above, an indicator portion 196 on follower 160 is viewable through the respective indicator hole which corresponds to the number of shotgun shells 122 remaining within magazine 120'. In this manner, the firearm user may monitor the number of shells remaining by visually determining where the indicator portion 196 is located along magazine body 130'.
  • identifier portion 196 on one or both of legs 192a, 192b may be colored so as to be more readily viewable by the firearm user through indicator holes 194.
  • magazine body 130 may be configured to include additional features adapted to permit loading and extraction of 2.5 inch long .410 bore rimmed shotgun shells (such as shotgun shell 122 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 ).
  • magazine body 130 (and, if desired, magazine body 130') may include a rim edge 200 having a vertical edge strip 202 affixed at one end to feed lip portions 144 and at step 138 at the other.
  • Vertical edge strip 202 defines respective edge gaps 204, 206 with front panel 208 and rear panel 210 respectively. Gaps 204, 206 may run the entire length of vertical edge strip 202 (i.e.
  • vertical edge strip 202 is able to flex outwardly from the magazine body 130, 130' as generally indicated by arrow 212.
  • magazine body 130, 130' may flex so as to accommodate 2.5 inch long shells that are slightly longer than the nominal 2.5 inches without causing an offending shell to become lodged within magazine thereby rendering the magazine inoperable.
  • Rim edge 200 in conjunction with feed lip walls 214 may define a recess 216.
  • Recess 216 may be configured to provide additional clearance when receiving rim end 148 of shotgun shell 122.
  • magazine body 130, 130' may be fabricated to be received within a mil spec AR15/M16 magazine well while being loaded with one or more 2.5 inch long .410 bore shotgun shells.
  • Recess 216 may further assist in angling a topmost shotgun shell 122 as discussed above and as shown in FIGS. 2-6 .
