Abstract
A shell stripper assembly includes a shell stripper, a stripper guide, a stripper guide plate, and a magazine insert. The shell stripper strips the top round from the firearm magazine so that it can be picked up by the firearm breech bolt. The shell stripper slides between guide rails of the stripper guide, and its motion is controlled by the stripper guide plate.
