Ammunition feed system for firearm

A high capacity ammunition feeding system for use with a firearm, comprising:

• a body portion;
• a spiral channel formed on a first side of said body portion, said spiral channel operable for receiving one or more firearm cartridges;
• a power spring drive shaft compartment formed as part of as second side of said body portion;
• an encapsulated spring clutch mechanism disposed within said body portion and circumscribed by said spiral channel, said encapsulated spring clutch mechanism having a primary drive shaft extending into said power spring drive shaft compartment;
• a cam stop winding knob operably connected to said body portion such that said cam stop winding knob is at least partially disposed in said power string drive shaft compartment, and is able to rotate relative to said body portion in one direction;
• a biasable member operable for moving said one or more firearm cartridges in said spiral channel, said biasable member operably connected to and anchored by said primary drive shaft and said cam stop winding knob;
• and
• a spiral following clutch drive arm driven by said encapsulated spring clutch mechanism such that said spiral following clutch drive arm moves said one or more cartridges in said spiral channel, and when said cam stop winding knob is rotated, tension builds in said biasable member to apply rotational force to said encapsulated spring clutch drive mechanism, transferring rotational force to said spiral following clutch drive arm, driving said one or more cartridges through said spiral channel as said one or more cartridges are discharged from said firearm, and said cam stop winding knob is operable to relieve tension in said biasable member when said firearm is not in use.

• an encapsulated spring clutch mechanism disposed within said body portion and circumscribed by said spiral channel, said encapsulated spring clutch mechanism having a primary drive shaft extending into said power spring drive shaft compartment, and a secondary drive shaft;
• a cam stop winding knob operably connected to said body portion such that said cam stop winding knob is at least partially disposed in said power spring drive shaft compartment, and is able to rotate relative to said body portion in one direction;
• a power spring operable for moving said one or more firearm cartridges in said spiral channel, said power spring operably connected to and anchored by said primary drive shaft and said cam stop winding knob;
• a power spring pocket formed as part of said cam stop winding knob, said power spring located in said power spring pocket;
• and
• a spiral following clutch drive arm driven by said secondary drive shaft such that said spiral following clutch drive arm moves said one or more cartridges in said spiral channel, and when said cam stop winding knob is rotated, tension builds in said power spring to apply rotational force to said encapsulated spring clutch drive mechanism, transferring rotational force to said spiral following clutch drive arm, driving said one or more cartridges through said spiral channel as said one or more cartridges are discharged from said firearm, and said cam stop winding knob is operable to relieve tension in said power spring when said firearm is not in use.
