Abstract
An ammunition magazine assembly is provided with a plurality of permanent partitions for subdividing the magazine interior into a plurality of bays and a plurality of optional separators readily removably installed to subdivide selected bays into bay sections. The bays accommodate belts of large caliber ammunition, while the bay sections accommodate belts of small caliber ammunitions. The magazine box is further equipped with a plurality of operational exit ports, all capable of accepting either a modular closure cover or a modular feed chute for either large or small caliber ammunition. The magazine assembly is thus readily adapted to bidirectional feeding of an ammunition belt or belts of one caliber or bidirectional feeding of belts of different calibers.
