Abstract
A firearm magazine includes an elongated tube defining a tube axis and having an upper end with feed lips and an opposed lower end. The tube has elongated front, rear, left and right side walls. A closure element is a bottom cap removably connected to the lower end of the tube and includes a latch movable between a retention position wherein the closure element is secured to the tube, and a released position wherein the closure element is removable from the tube. The closure element includes a spring loaded latch biased upward to lock into its retention position, and the closure element is slidably receivable onto the lower end of the tube by movement transverse to the tube axis in a removal direction. The latch is on a tube side opposite from the removal direction and configured to abut the tube to prevent removal when locked in its retention position.
