A rotary tool can be adapted for removing material from a workpiece such as a lower receiver. A rotary tool can have an adapter with a major diameter, and a cutter head with a minor diameter. The major diameter of the adapter can reduce deflection and chatter, while the minor diameter of the cutter head can be used to manufacture lower receivers with accuracy. The rotary tool can be adapted to be engaged with a rotary power tool.

A device implementable on a firearm includes a monolithic upper receiver, comprising an upper receiver portion and a handguard portion, which is configured to accommodate non-proprietary barrel assemblies dimensioned according to United States military standard (mil-spec) barrel assembly dimensions and non-proprietary bolt carrier groups (BCGs) dimensioned according to mil-spec BCG dimensions. The device also includes a charging handle assembly configured to be coupled to an operating rod of a gas system of the firearm and forward of a BCG of the firearm. The device further includes a barrel locking system including a locking plate and a locking screw. When the locking screw is screwed into a threaded hole on the locking plate, the locking plate engages with a side of a barrel extension of the barrel assembly in a radial directions perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the barrel assembly.

A bolt stop actuator is disclosed. The actuator may include a lift arm, a first leg extending from a point proximate to an end of the lift bar and generally perpendicular therefrom, a second leg extending in the same direction from the lift bar as the first leg, and a projection extending from the lift bar and configured to contact a follower of an empty magazine when the bolt stop actuator is assembled into a firearm. Neither the first leg, nor the second leg, include apertures positioned distal to the lift arm.

A handgun is disclosed. The handgun contains a frame composed of polymer material, the frame contains a channel formed therein, wherein the channel contains sides, and a forward rail positioned within the channel.

A pistol is disclosed, including a body made from synthetic material having a channel formed inside the body. A slide is guided in a longitudinal direction of the body, the slide including a barrel and a breech. A single-block chassis having an elongated shape extends from a central portion of the body to a rear end of the body. The chassis further includes guiding elements for guiding the slide. The pistol is configured such that the channel is designed to receive the chassis removably, and the chassis is fastened to the body using a formfitting, sliding connection.

A gas block for a firearm may include a quick release sling attachment. The sling attachment utilizes a pin that engages with a bore in the body of the gas block. The sling attachment features a ring that can be in a fixed position or can swivel.

An advanced jig for manufacturing a firearm lower receiver can include an adapter, a guide plate, a front support, a buffer support, a buffer mounting screw and at least one carriage with at least one locating pin. A guide plate can be in a location above the fire control cavity of a lower receiver and can be mounted to the carriage(s) in conjunction with a rotary power tool adapter. The jig can be a universal fitment. The jig can include a bearing to support a rotary tool and can be constructed and arranged to provide for use of at least one guiding feature to facilitate in the guidance of the rotary tool without placing the rotary tool in direct contact with any of a plurality of guidance features for firearm lower receiver manufacturing. A removable locating pin can be situated in a location along the front takedown pin hole of a firearm receiver that is for firearm lower receiver manufacturing.
