Abrégé

An easy loading magazine has a magazine tube with a follower that is spring biased to feed cartridges to a firearm. The follower has a follower engagement opening within it that is sized to fit the specific caliber cartridge being used in the magazine. The user places the cartridge within the follower engagement opening and uses the cartridge to force the follower down thus relieving the pressure against the cartridges to be loaded. After the cartridges are loaded within the magazine, the user removes the cartridge that was inserted in the follower engagement opening and this re-engages the follower. In one embodiment, a locking slot is provided that allows the user to temporally lock the follower in place while loading the magazine and then sliding the cartridge back to release the follower.
