Abstract
A magazine cutoff device for a firearm with a tube-type magazine, such as, e.g., semi-automatic shotgun. The cutoff device may be moveably mounted to accommodate at least two positions, on and off. The user may activate the cutoff, pull the bolt to the rear, eject a chambered shell, and lock the bolt to the rear while retaining any shells in the magazine.
