ABSTRACT:
To reliably hold rounds of ammunition on a magazine conveyor, each of a series of ammunition round carriers has a semi-cylindrical bucket providing an axially elongated slot along which are arrayed integral, roller tipped resilient fingers defining a slot opening of a width less than the ammunition round diameter. Forced insertion and withdrawal of a round through the slot opening is accommodated by flexure of the fingers and facilitated by rolling engagement with the rollers. The rollers are pressed against an ammunition round in a bucket by the clamping forces of the fingers to impose both lateral and axial motion restraints on the round to secure its carrier position.
