This just my two cents. I would not want to modify my lower. I would trim the upper post before trimming the lower. That shelf is one of the parts of your lower that you would have to modify to make it accept a m16 trigger group. You could also email the ATF and ask. If they respond that you can modify the lower, keep a copy of it
