ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an ammunition magazine which may be made of plastic, pre-loaded with ammunition rounds and stored in the loaded condition for extended periods of time without deterioration. A spring motor is mounted on and drives an ammunition follower to urge the ammunition rounds toward the magazine's feed opening, and includes a drive gear which engages a gear rack formed on an interior wall of the magazine housing. The spring motor is disposed in an operationally unstressed condition during storage of the loaded magazine. To ready the magazine for use, a plastic strip having a gear rack formed thereon may be pulled from the bottom of the housing, thereby rotating an energizing gear which winds the spring motor to an operationally stressed condition.
