Described herein are hybrid material firearms magazines that combine a polymer overmold with a metal ammunition magazine to provide a superior magazine capable of holding increased amounts of ammunition while overcoming various problems associated with traditional metal only and/or polymer only magazines as well as methods for making the magazines disclosed herein.

Hybrid firearm magazine

The present application teaches a magazine () for a firearm. In one embodiment, the magazine includes a polymeric housing () including an embedded metal support guard () and an external metal feed lip assembly ().

Hybrid magazine for a firearm

The present application teaches an improved magazine well extension and trigger guard extension for a firearm.

Magazine well extension and trigger guard extension for a firearm

A handguard comprising a plurality of layers of composite material. At least one of the layers is a ceramic matrix composite and at least one of the layers, and preferably the outer later, is a carbon fiber reinforced composite. In addition, the outermost layer is preferably a woven fabric carbon fiber reinforced composite. In one embodiment, one or more ceramic matrix composite layers is sandwiched between layers of carbon fiber reinforced composite. In another embodiment, an innermost layer is a ceramic matrix composite and the outermost layer is a carbon fiber reinforced composite.

Firearm handguard having heat-reducing features

A magazine well extension for a firearm having a magazine well and a trigger guard consists of a tapered monolithic hollow extension body closely matched to the magazine well opening. The bottom opening is larger than the top opening to more loosely receive the magazine for easier insertion. The extension is attached to the magazine well opening by upward facing rails on opposite sides at the top of the extension body which are matingly received by complimentary slots in the bottom of the magazine well. A second attachment point located at the rear of the extension includes a yoke which retains a laterally slidable captive pin that engages an outwardly extending tang on the trigger guard of the firearm. A forwardly extending lip at the front of the magazine well engages a groove on the inside wall of the extension to vertically support the extension at the front.
