A charging handle, charging handle latch, and firearm with a charging handle. The charging handle includes a charging handle body that extends between a front and a rear of the charging handle; a crossbar at the rear of the charging handle, wherein the charging handle body has a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, wherein at least a portion of the bottom surface bottom surface defines a first plane. The charging handle further includes a latch pivotally connected to the charging handle, wherein the latch includes a gripping surface configured to be depressed by a user, wherein an extension portion of the latch extends below the first plane.

A receiver for a firearm and a method of disposing the receiver to prevent automatic reloading and/or trigger reset of a firearm are disclosed. A blocking mechanism is moveable between an upward and a downward position and the blocking mechanism is in the downward position when the firearm is in battery. The blocking mechanism automatically moves to the upward position after a round is fired and the blocking mechanism prevents automatic reloading and/or trigger reset of the firearm when in the upward position.

A device for converting a semiautomatic firearm to a non-semiautomatic firearm. The device includes a bolt stop lever pivotally attachable to a receiver of a firearm, a spring configured to be installed in contact with the bolt stop lever and a firearm receiver such that the spring exerts a force on the bolt stop lever to retain the bolt stop lever in a first position, and, a bolt release mechanism operatively coupleable to the bolt stop lever and configured to pivot the bolt stop lever against the force of the spring into a second position. The bolt release mechanism is operatively decoupled from the bolt stop lever when the bolt stop lever reaches the second position. When in the first position the bolt stop lever restricts motion of a bolt of the firearm, and when in the second position, the bolt stop lever permits motion of the firearm bolt.
