Abstract:
The present invention relates to systems and methods for reliably limiting the cartridge loading capacity of firearm magazines. In one embodiment, a magazine capacity limiting assembly includes a limiter body and a limiter base. The magazine capacity limiter body reliably operates with a cartridge follower of a firearm magazine. The limiter body is installed substantially within coils of the magazine's spring, thereby limiting the travel of the follower within the magazine body to limit the magazine's cartridge capacity. The lower portion of the limiter body can include a plurality of extensions is configured to be severed at a corresponding plurality of pre-determined locations corresponding to a plurality of cartridge capacities. The limiter may also include a cupped top configured to be securely coupled the cartridge follower of a corresponding type of firearm.

Claim (Index 5):
A universal adjustable magazine capacity limiting assembly kit configured to limit a cartridge capacity of a firearm magazine having a magazine body, a magazine spring, a cartridge follower and a magazine floor plate, the magazine capacity limiting assembly comprising:\n an interchangeable magazine capacity limiter body having a top edge configured to securely operate with a cartridge follower of a firearm magazine, the cartridge follower configured to be operatively coupled to a top of a magazine spring of the firearm magazine, wherein the limiter body is configured to be installed substantially within coils of the magazine spring, and wherein the limiter body is further configured to limit the travel of the magazine follower within the magazine body thereby limiting a cartridge capacity of the firearm magazine, wherein the limiter body is further configured to be severed at a plurality of pre-determined locations thereby enabling a corresponding plurality of cartridge capacities for the firearms magazine, and wherein the limiter limited body includes a corresponding plurality of notches; wherein the top edge of the limiter body includes a cupped section configured to be securely coupled the cartridge follower, and wherein the cartridge follower is configured for a type of magazine corresponding to a type of firearm; and an interchangeable magazine capacity limiter base configured to be securely coupled to the magazine limiter body, wherein the limiter base includes a catch configured to securely engage one of the corresponding plurality of notches, and wherein the limiter base is also configured to be operatively coupled to a magazine floor plate of the firearm magazine.
