ABSTRACT:
A gas-operated, magazine fed firearm includes a shell carrier for receiving shells from the magazine and lifting them into chambering position. An integral shell stop and carrier latch lever pivotally mounted in the receiver latches the shell carrier in its lowered, shell-receiving position and releases a single shell from the magazine to be moved onto the shell carrier by the magazine spring. The shell stop lever blocks the following shell from moving onto the shell carrier and releases the shell carrier for transferring the shell to chambering position. The shell stop lever shifts laterally to permit shells to be loaded past the carrier into the magazine from the feeding end.
