Getting ready to build my first AR pistol, but it will be the second one I’ve owned. The First one I bought already came with a fixed-mag mechanism installed.
This one is going to be a higher quality build and is going to cost some coin for the parts I want to use, so I want to make sure that whatever I use to affix the magazine in place can be reversible in the future if I move out of state or choose to use this lower for a rifle-build. The Hogue Freedom Fighter caught my attention as it’s the most elegant solution (in my opinion) and would only require me to unscrew the set screw holing the detent pin and spring to be reversed. The fact that the upper has to be opened to do so, and also to release the magazine, would put the pistol in a state of not being a firearm since the receivers aren’t connected to either of those tasks, so would that meet the requirements of a fixed magazine?
