There isn't any real information on these so I googled the Patent Number and came up with these results:
PAT.NO 4139959

United States Patent 4413437

Abstract: An improved cartridge magazine constructed of high impact nylon resin and in which a spring urged follower pushes cartridges into a rifle into which the casing is inserted. The follower is attached to the spring which prevents fore and aft movement of the follower and the spring is curved to physically contact the bottommost portion of the follower to prevent the follower from pivoting about the spring contact. A removable floor plate is removably attached to the casing by means of a pair of resilient latches. The floor plate is symmetrical and has no preferred orientation, thereby simplifying loading of the cartridges.
