ABSTRACT:
An ammunition magazine stowing belted rounds for rapid fire guns has generally horizontal, laterally spaced side rails for slidably supporting a file of uppermost rounds from which depend loops of rounds. In order to restrain forward sliding motion of an uppermost forward round into a gap at the forward ends of the round supporting rails, a resiliently mounted restrainer roller is mounted above the forward round while it is suspended on the rails. The roller prevents the forward round from sliding off the rails in case the magazine box is tilted forwardly or jarred, thereby preventing entanglement, hand up or jamming as a string of rounds is fed upwardly to the gun breech.
