Abstract
A firearm magazine having a body constructed by a two-stage process. First, a fabrication stage shapes a sheet material into a substantially tubular magazine body with a joint having one or more retainers formed along the mating ends. Second, a molding stage joins the mating edges using a plastic that fills the joint between the mating edges. One or more retainers along the mating ends are designed to distribute forces applied to the magazine body along the seam and provide support from the sheet material to secure the connection rather than rely on the tensile strength of the filler material to maintain the joinder of the mating edges.
