Abstract
A fixed magazine for a rifle has a projecting boss within the magazine well that engages a cavity in the magazine. Once the magazine is inserted and the boss engages the cavity, the magazine is fixed and may not be removed from the rifle. The magazine is loaded by separating the upper receiver from the lower receiver and exposing the magazine opening, allowing it to receive rounds of ammunition.
