ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a magazine for a repeater firearm, preferably for an automatic pistol which, while approximately preserving its external dimensions, is modified so that the usable capacity inside the magazine is reduced. In one refinement, the invention relates to a magazine with a magazine tube (1), a magazine spring (4), a feeder (7) and a magazine base (2). To reduce the usable capacity of the magazine, a spacer (6) is attached to the magazine base (2) facing the magazine spring (4). The magazine spring (4) is also shortened so that, in the absence of the spacer (6), it does not exert sufficient force on the feeder (7) to reliably advance the last cartridges (9) to the magazine lips on the end of the magazine tube (1). In addition to or instead of the features described above, the spacer (6) can be designed so that in its absence, and if the magazine is filled with bullets, the magazine base is partly or completely detached from its mounting on the other end of the magazine tube (1).
