A method for inserting a safety block into a rifle comprising an upper receiver and a lower receiver, the lower receiver comprising a trigger assembly positioned within a cavity. The method includes separating the upper receiver and the lower receiver to expose the lower receiver and inserting the safety block into the cavity. The safety block comprises a hammer cavity configured to surround the trigger assembly such that the safety block surrounds at least a hammer of the trigger assembly. A hammer stop of the safety block is configured to rest against the hammer. The method includes closing the upper receiver against the lower receiver. Closing the upper receiver brings the upper receiver into contact with the safety block and rotationally pushes the hammer stop of the safety block forward and against the hammer. Rotating the safety block against the hammer rotates the hammer such that the hammer is freed from a restraining portion of the trigger assembly.
