ABSTRACT:
An assault rifle is converted from an original to a modified configuration having a remote trigger located forwardly of the magazine by mounting a remote forward trigger to the original rifle by means of a pair of shroud pieces which cradle the rifle's receiver, replacing the original removable trigger of the assault rifle with a replacement lever, providing a cam element movable within cam guides defined in the shroud pieces and connecting the cam element to the remote forward trigger so as to move the cam into engagement with the replacement lever upon actuation of the remote forward trigger. The parts required for conversion are readily detachable from the rifle to thereby return the weapon to its original configuration.
