CARTRIDGE MAGAZINE FOR FIREARMS Filed April l, 1939 INVENTOR [Ver Qossbeng.
ATTORNEYS Patented Sept. 22, 1942 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2,296,729 CARTRIDGE MAGAZINE FOR FIREARMS Iver 0. Mossberg, New Haven,
O. F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc.,
Conn., assignor to New Haven,
9 Claims.
This invention relates to cartridge magazines for firearms, and more particularly to a box type magazine adapted to hold a plurality of cartridges in position to be fed, one at a time, into the chamber of a barrel of a repeating firearm.
In some instances firearms, and particularly rifles, are adapted to receive in the chambers of their barrels, cartridges oi the same calibre but of different lengths. This especially is true in respect to .22 calibre repeating rifles, which are so chambered that they are adapted to receive either .22 short, .22 long, or .22 long rifle cartridges, as desired by the user. It has been the practice to provide at least two different magazines, one for the .22 short cartridge, and another for the .22 long, and .22 long rifle, cartridges. Such a procedure resulted in considerable inconvenience, as well as an added expense to the user, as it required him to obtain and carry two or more different sizes of magazines whenever he wished to use different cartridges in firearms adapted for the same.
Attempts have been made to use a magazine, designed to receive and hold relatively long cartridges, to receive and hold short cartridges, but such a procedure has caused considerable inconvenience and was found to be particularly disadvantageous, in that the short cartridges would tilt downwardly as they were fed forwardly toward the chamber in the barrel and jam, and to slide forwardly and to become improperly disposed within the magazine.
In order to obviate the above inconveniences, and disadvantages, and to avoid any added expense, it is contemplated as one object of this invention, to provide a single magazine which may be readily adapted to receive and carry, and efficiently feed, cartridges of the same calibre but, of different lengths.
Another object of this invention is to provide a box type cartridge magazine for a firearm wherein means is provided to readily convert it from long cartridge holding magazine into a short cartridge holding magazine, or Vice versa. i
Still another object is to provide means to convert a box type magazine adapted to receive and guide relatively long cartridges of one calibre into one adapted to receive and guide relatively short cartridges of the same calibre with substantially equal eiiiciency.
A further object of this invention is to provide an improved cartridge magazine for firearms which will be relatively inexpensive to manufacture, simple in construction,
compact, of pleas- 55 ing appearance, and which is very efficient and durable in use.
With these and other objects in View, which will appear as the description proceeds, there has been illustrated in the accompanying drawing one form in which the invention may be conveniently embodied in practice.
In the drawing, wherein like reference numerals designate like parts throughout the several views:
Figure 1 is a broken side view of a firearm having a box type cartridge magazine, embodying the features and principles of this invention operatively, associated therewith;
Figure 2 is an enlarged top plan view of the cartridge magazine shown in Figure l;
Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Figure 2 and showing the magazine adapted for use to hold relatively short cartridges; and
Figure 4 is a View similar to Figure 3 but showing the magazine adapted for use to hold relatively long cartridges.
ForV the purpose of illustrating a practical application of the novel features and principles of this invention, a bolt action repeating riiie of usual and well-known form is shown in Figure 1 with the improved form of box-type cartridge magazine of this invention operatively associated therewith. In such forms of firearms, a bolt I0 is slidably mounted in a receiver I I for the purpose, among others, of forcing a cartridge I2 from the mouth of a box-type magazine I3 into a chamber I4, adapted to receive cartridges of the same calibre but of different lengths and formed in the receiver end of a barrel I5, to lock it in such position. Both the receiver II and the barrel I5 are supported by a stock I6.
The magazine I3 is detachably secured to the receiver II by means of a spring actuated catch I1 which engages the lower end of a downwardly projecting finger I8 secured to the receiver II by a screw I9. The magazine I3 extends upwardly through the stock I6, and through an opening formed in the underside of the receiver II, to properly position the upper edges 20 and 2I, of its sides 22 and 23, for them to act as guides for the cartridge I2 as it is forced into the chamber I4 by the bolt I0. In the form of magazine shown one piece of sheet metal is folded over to form a casing of box-like structure having a front end plate 24 from which the sides 22 and 23 extend rearwardly. The rear edges 25 and 26 of the sides 22 and 23 respectively are folded inwardly toward each other, being spaced apart to permit the catch I'I to be disposed between them. The rear end of the magazine is closed by a plate 21 which is spaced inwardly from the edges 25 and 26 to form a slot, down which the nger I8 extends so as to be engaged by the catch I'I and whereby the magazine I3 is supported in properly tilted position to present a cartridge I2 to the forward end of the bolt I0. The rear plate 21 also acts as a guide for the cartridges I2, the rear ends of which engage and slide along the same as they move upwardly in the magazine.
The magazine I 3 is of sufiicient depth to receive a plurality, usually seven, cartridges, andY is of suiiicient length to receive cartridges of the maximum length provided for the' calibre desired. For instance, when .22 calibre cartridges are to be used the length of the magazine is suicient to receive a .22 long rifle cartridge 28, as illustrated in Figure 4. The cartridges I2 and 28, assuming that the cartridge I2 is a .22 calibre short, are disposed in the magazine I3 in vertical superimposed position, the lower one being supported upon a follower 29 which is slidably mounted in the magazine I3 and is guided by the sides 22- and 23, and the end ' plates 24 and 21 thereof. A coiled spring 3IJ.is provided and positioned to react between the follower 29 and a plate 3| which is provided to form the bottom of the magazine I3 to urge the cartridges upwardly to position the upper one in front of the bolt I0. The cartridges in the magazine I3 are retained against being pushed upwardly out of its open upper end ormouth by inturned lips 32 and 33 formed from the material of its sides 22 and 23 respectively. Notches 34 and 35 cut in the sides 22 and 23 respectively at their upper edges permit the release of the cartridge being pushed forwardly by the bolt I6 from the retaining action of the lips 32 and 33.
As illustrated in Figures 1, 2, and 3, the .22 calibre short cartridge I2 is considerably shorter than the .22 long rifle cartridge 28 and, if used in a magazine of suicient length to receive long rifle cartridges 28, would 'tend to slip forwardly out of Vertical alignment in the magazine, and also tend to tilt downwardly, when it is pushed forwardly by the bolt I0, and become jammed between the bolt I and the forward end of the magazine, as indicated in dotted lines in Figure 4, or to tilt downwardly enough to not properly enter the bore I4 of the barrel I5. To obviate these disadvantages, a vertically disposed rodlike member, or stem, 36 has been provided which is spaced inwardly from the front end 24 of the magazine I3 suiciently to be engaged by the forward end 31 of the shortest length of cartridges used, herein shown as a, .22 short, and to limit any forward slipping movement thereof while they are in the magazine I3 and are being fed upwardly by the follower 29. The member 36 is also ofV suiiicient length to have its upper end 38 act as a guiding support for the cartridges I2, which engage this end 38 as they are pushed forwardly by the bolt I8 and are prevented from tilting downwardly and are properly guided into the bore I4 of the barrel I5 thereby. v
As shown herein, the member 36 is in the form of an elongated stem which extends upwardly through the coils of the spring -30 and through an elongated opening 139 provided in the follower 29. The stem, or member 36, has a threaded portion v4E), which screw threads into a threaded opening 4I provided -in the bottom plate 3I for this purpose. The member or stem 36 is also provided with a boss 42, which is larger inrdiameter than the threaded portion 48, to adapt it to abut against the plate 3l and lock the member 36 in position. A knurled thumb lug 43 is also provided by which the stem 36 may be rotated to screw thread the portion 40 into, or to readily remove it from, the bottom plate 3l to operably position the member 36 in or to remove it from the magazine I3. It is proposed to furnish a member 36 with each magazine I3.
By providing a magazine of the nature disclosed it is possible to use it to carry different lengths of cartridges of the same calibre and to efficiently operate the firearm when any one of a plurality of lengths of cartridges are used. For instance, when it is desired to use .22 short cartridges, the member, or stem, 36 is disposed in the magazine, as shown in Figure 3, whereby these cartridges will be guided in their vertical movement in the magazine and upon being pushed therefrom by a bolt, or the like, and will be properly guided forwardly into the chamber of the barrel of the firearm. When it is desired to use the magazine for receiving and carrying .22 long, or .22 long rifle, cartridges, the member 36 is not disposed in the magazine which will then appear as shown in Figure 4.
While there has been shown and described herein one form of improved cartridge magazine for firearms, it is to be understood that the invention may be embodied in other forms without departing from the spirit and essential attributes thereof. It is therefore desired that the present embodiment be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and it will be further understood that each and every novel feature and combination thereof, present in, or possessed by, the device herein disclosed, forms a part of the invention included in this application.
