Abstract
A mechanism for selectively connecting a magazine tube to a receiver of a magazine fed shotgun. The mechanism permits the rapid attachment to or detachment from of the magazine tube to the receiver of the shotgun. The mechanism may be a connector threaded into the end of the magazine tube. A locking profile may be connected to the end of the connector and may provide an access path. A pin may be passed through the access path and the magazine tube may then be rotated to position the pin into the locking profile. The rotation may be less than one half of a rotation. A plug may be threaded into the receiver. The pin may be connected to the plug. A spring may be used to bias the magazine tube in a locked position. A protrusion and nut may prevent movement between the magazine tube and receiver.
