Abstract
The present invention can have an adjustable length adapter that attaches to the firearm, and in one embodiment directly to an existing load tube. A mounting assembly and an indexing assembly are further provided. The mounting assembly has a mounting plate with an alignment hole for allowing a shell to pass there through from an aligned tube and into the adapter. The indexing assembly indexes relative the mounting assembly to successively align one of a plurality of tubes with the alignment hole. As one tube fills, the invention can be rotated to index the next tube and tension a rotator that can be positioned generally parallel to the firearm barrel. This process can be repeated until all four tubes are full. Upon emptying of a tube, a pin can be automatically activated to allow the indexing assembly to rotate relative the mounting assembly to align the next successive tube.
