Referrin to the drawing, and particularly to Figsgl to 3,. A: denotes, ajcasing constituting the magazinesin which the carjj tridges B are contained. a
MMOVable w'ithin'r the "casing; A; lengthwise L01 thereofiis a cartridge support 1 whic'li pref-x y qerably comprises, a shelf upon which the j cartridges may rest, and a downwardly turned flange l? which may slide along the 1 inner face of the rear wall of the casing A ,5 and assists in guiding the support 1 in its movement.
Arrangedbetween the lower'face of the supportl and the inner face of the base of thecasing A" is a coiled sprlng 2 havlng a 0 normal expansive tendency whereby the cartridge support 1 is forced upwardly 1;f withinthemagazine. i
Pivotally connected at 3 to the support 1 is a rod 4 having a pin 11 at or near its 5 ,lowerend.
