- (a) providing a semi-automatic firearm having a firearm ripper assembly and a firearm lower assembly, the firearm lower assembly having a top surface and a firearm magazine container for holding a firearm magazine;
(b) creating a hole in the top surface of the firearm lower assembly to accommodate a retaining device that perpendicularly or near perpendicularly engages with and secures a magazine lock;
(c) inserting the firearm magazine into the firearm magazine container;
(d) inserting the firearm magazine lock; and
,(e) fixing the firearm magazine in place by inserting the retaining device into the hole until it engages with and secures the magazine lock, wherein the fixed magazine cannot be removed without disassembly of the semi-automatic firearm by at least partial separation of the firearm upper assembly from the firearm lower assembly and without disengaging the retaining device from the magazine lock.

Abstract
A method of converting a semi-automatic firearm with a readily detachable firearm magazine into a firearm having a fixed firearm magazine is described. The method comprises removal of a magazine release button and installation of a retaining pin that secures a magazine lock in place. Significant firearm disassembly is required just in order to reload the magazine after conversion. Also, the firearm magazine cannot be removed from the firearm without using tools to remove the retaining device therefore preventing any kind of rapid magazine switching. The retaining device is inaccessible without at least partially disassembling the firearm upper assembly from the firearm lower assembly. This method eliminates quick magazine release buttons or quick release mechanisms. A method of making such a semi-automatic firearm is described. A conversion kit is also described.
