Abstract
A modified lower receiver for a standard assault rifle includes a modified receiver body and a magazine release. The modified receiver body defines a modified magazine well, a trigger well and modified forward and rear takedown holes, and the magazine release is mounted on a side of the modified receiver body and extends into the modified magazine well. The modified magazine well is longer than a magazine well of a standard lower receiver by a predetermined distance forward of the magazine release. Positions of the modified forward and rear takedown holes are also forward of respective standard positions of forward and rear takedown holes by the same predetermined distance. A method of modifying the assault rifle includes removing the standard lower receiver and firing pin from an upper receiver, installing a longer, modified firing pin into the upper receiver, and installing the modified lower receiver on the upper receiver.
