METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A MODULE FOR FIREARM MODIFICATION VIA AN EXISTING FIRING CONROL UNIT
A firearm assembly, capable of firing bullets, includes a firearm assembly kit and a firing control unit (“FCU”). The FCU, in one embodiment, is disassembled from a handgun which is operable by one hand and capable of initiating firing a bullet when a trigger of the FCU is pulled. The firearm assembly kit is configured to house the FCU to form an operable firearm resembling a semiautomatic rifle operable by two hands. The kit includes a grip module and an extended firing slide (“EFS”). The grip module includes a handgrip, an FCU housing, a trigger guard, and a magazine port, wherein the trigger guard is situated between the handgrip and the magazine port which is located in front of the handgrip away from the user. The EFS facilitates firing of bullets from a magazine inserted in the magazine port via an extended firing pin.
FIREARM HAVING A DELAY MECHANISM
A number of embodiments of a firearm are disclosed where the firearm includes a magazine configured to hold the bolt in an open position when the magazine is empty. In one embodiment, the firearm includes a bolt stop mechanism that moves between a first position where it allows the bolt to cycle between an open position and a closed position and a second position where it holds the bolt in the open position. The magazine is configured to actuate the bolt stop mechanism to the first position when the magazine is empty.

Weapon Retrofitting Systems and Methods
A system allows remote triggering or firing of a weapon having a mechanical triggering or firing mechanism. The system can include at least one base, attachable to a weapon in a location adjacent a trigger of the weapon. At least one actuator is carried by the base, the actuator operable to engage the trigger of the weapon. At least one wireless controller is operable to actuate the actuator, the wireless controller being accessible by a system remote from the weapon.
Threaded Trigger Pin
The present invention comprises a trigger pin having a threaded portion and a non-threaded portion and an action having a trigger assembly slot and at least one channel having a portion thereof threaded. In the preferred embodiment, the trigger pin is inserted through a first channel in the action, into a channel within the trigger assembly, and into a second channel in the action opposing the first channel in the action. The threaded portion of the pin is threadably engaged with the threaded portion of the first channel in the action.

MODULAR HANDGUN
A modular handgun system comprises an elongated universal trigger frame having a barrel locking block, a pair of slide rails, and an accessory rail. The trigger frame is adapted to have a trigger assembly mounted thereto. The system further comprises a grip frame having an elongated channel and a hand grip extending downwardly from the elongated channel. The trigger frame is removably mounted in the elongated channel of the grip frame. The accessory rail of the trigger frame is positioned forward of a forward end of the elongated channel of the grip frame so as to be exposed. The system further comprises a slide and barrel assembly slidably mounted on the slide rails of the trigger frame.
