ABSTRACT:
A magazine floor plate latch mechanism including a lever pivotally mounted in the trigger guard which lever is sized, shaped and housed so that it cannot be actuated from within the trigger guard. The lever protrudes from an exit located in the front of the trigger guard a sufficient distance to be actuable from the front of the guard to accomplish arcuate lever rotation to release the floor plate. Preferably, the lever does not protrude past the front of the trigger guard, thereby precluding inadvertent operation by a foreign object striking the front of the trigger guard.
