ABSTRACT:
A magazine latch release mechanism for repeating rifles and the like having a magazine catch carried on an axially movable shaft extending laterally through the receiver of such a weapon is operable by a lever extending downward proximate the rear side of a removable magazine to permit release and removal of the magazine with one hand while the other hand continues to grip the weapon. A sleeve surrounds a portion of the laterally extending shaft within the receiver, part of the sleeve extending outwardly through a receiver wall. The sleeve is pinned to the shaft outside the receiver wall. An end of the latch release lever is pivotably connected to the sleeve within the receiver and the opposite end of the lever extends downwardly from the bottom of the receiver. A fulcrum portion of the lever is located adjacent an interior surface of the receiver, acting to move the sleeve and shaft in a direction opposite that in which the lower end portion of the lever is pressed, to disengage a catch from a removable magazine to release the magazine from the weapon. A cap fits around a portion of the sleeve and shaft exterior of the receiver to limit the extent of axial movement of the shaft.
