Claim:
1. A conversion kit for a semiautomatic rifle, the conversion kit comprising: a manually-operable, slidable carriage assembly configured to be longitudinally displaceable with respect to a barrel assembly of the semiautomatic rifle and to surround the barrel assembly of the semiautomatic rifle; and an operation rod including a first end and a second end, the first end of the operation rod being configured to engage the manually-operable, slidable carriage assembly and the second end of the operation rod being configured to engage a bolt carrier assembly of the semiautomatic rifle; wherein the combination of the manually-operable, slidable carriage assembly and the operation rod is configured to allow a user of the semiautomatic rifle to manually cycle the bolt carrier assembly of the semiautomatic rifle, and wherein the combination of the manually-operable, slidable carriage assembly and the operation rod causes the bolt carrier assembly to remain in a battery position after discharging a single round of ammunition from the semiautomatic rifle such that a spent cartridge of the discharged round remains in a chamber of the barrel assembly until the bolt carrier assembly is manually cycled.
