The Hogue Freedom Fighter AR-15 Magazine Conversion Kit lets you turn a standard, mil-spec AR-15 lower receiver into a fixed magazine lower to comply with various state and local restrictions on detachable mags. Sure, we know these restrictions serve no constructive purpose, but the law is the law and responsible gun owners have to comply. Once the Freedom Fighter AR-15 Fixed Magazine Conversion Kit is installed, the magazine can only be released when the upper receiver is disassembled from the lower receiver. The Freedom Fighter Conversion Kit is a permanent attachment, but the user can uninstall it to return the rifle to a normal drop-magazine operation when you move to a more firearm-friendly jurisdiction. Kit includes:
- 3 spring-and-pin assemblies
- Drilling jig
- Two drill bits
- Spring and pin assemblies for converting additional rifles are sold separately as the Freedom Fighter Fixed Magazine Refill Kit
For best results, Hogue recommends installation by a professional gunsmith or machinist, but the Freedom Fighter AR-15 Fixed Magazine Conversion Kit can be installed by anyone with good mechanical skills. Brownells carries several items needed for installation that can be found at the following skus: 123-000-005 5/64" Allen Wrench, 395-832-001 8-32 Tap, 078-101-152 Magazine Release Assembly, and 231-000-096 Magazine Catch Spring.
