1. A rifle comprising:
an upper receiver having a downwardly depending rear lug having a width;
the rear lug defining a transverse lug bore having a selected diameter;
a lower receiver removably attachable to the upper receiver;
the lower receiver defining an upwardly open cavity defined between opposed sidewalls;
the cavity adapted to receive the rear lug when the upper receiver is connected to the lower receiver;
the sidewalls defining lateral sidewall bores having the selected diameter;
the sidewall bores being registered with the transverse lug bore when the upper receiver and lower receiver are in a fully engaged condition;
a pin having an elongated portion received in the transverse lug bore and the sidewall bores;
the pin being movable in a direction along its length between an operating condition and a released condition;
the pin having a first end portion that, when the pin is in the operating condition, is closely received in at least one of the sidewall bores and is closely received within at least a portion of the transverse lug bore such that relative movement of the upper receiver with respect to the lower receiver is prevented;
the first end portion having a lower end portion surface adapted to resist upward movement of the rear lug;
the pin having an intermediate portion adjacent to the lower end portion surface;
the intermediate portion of the pin being thinner than the first end portion;
the intermediate portion of the pin having a widest dimension in the fore and aft direction at a level above the lower end portion; and
the lower channel having a width at least as great as the width of the rear lug, such that when the pin is in the released condition, the lower channel is registered with the rear lug, and the rear lug is enabled to move upward with respect to the lower receiver by a limited distance to a disengaged position.
