ABSTRACT:
A magazine, from which cartridges are cross-fed to a transfer disc which is rotated to align each cartridge with the barrel of a firearm, is provided at its discharge end with a spring-hinged restraining flap that normally engages the leading cartridge against passage to the transfer disc. The flap is slotted so that injector fingers, normally spring-biased to a retracted position, may enter the magazine to bias the leading cartridge into the transfer disc. An actuating arm for the transfer disc, when advanced, rotates the disc to align with the barrel the cartridge deposited therein by the injector elements. When the actuating arm is advanced, the injector elements are left free to be spring-biased to their retracted positions. When the actuating arm is retracted, a cam finger carried by the arm is affective to move the injector element through the slots in the flap to shift the next following cartridge past the flap into the transfer disc.
