ABSTRACT:
A magazine for holding and for reliably and rapidly feeding cartridges to the chamber of a bolt-equipped firearm. Each cartridge to be fed has a rim and a shoulder. The magazine has lips, guides, and a follower. The lips are cartridge-retaining lips, which are uniformly forwardly outwardly angled substantially the entire length of the cartridge from the rim to the neck. The guides guide two parallel rows of cartridges toward the lips. The follower and a spring upwardly bias the two rows of cartridges such that the uppermost cartridge in one row contacts the lip above that row and the uppermost cartridge in the other row contacts the lip above the other row. The walls of the magazine have outwardly flared parallel skirt guides. These skirt guides retain a skirt which has certain features preventing its accidental removal.
