A method for inserting a safety block into a rifle comprising upper and lower receivers, 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 that surrounds the trigger assembly such that the safety block surrounds at least a hammer of the trigger assembly. A hammer stop of the safety block rests against the hammer. The upper receiver is then closed 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 to free the hammer from a restraining portion of the trigger assembly.
