Abrégé

The present invention is a modified magazine adapted to prevent live ammunition from being loaded therein and subsequently chambered into and discharged from a firearm. The magazine includes a restriction plate positioned within a cavity of the magazine and securely coupled to an interior surface of a front wall of the magazine. The restriction plate has a thickness sufficient to reduce the size of the opening of the magazine and prevent the loading of a live round into the magazine. The length of the modified opening, as reduced by the thickness of the restriction plate, is less than the length of the live round of ammunition, thereby preventing loading and/or feeding of a live round of ammunition into the magazine and further preventing discharge of a live round from the firearm. The reduced size of the opening is sufficient to receive only blank rounds of ammunition.

Abrégé

The invention relates to safety components/modifications for a firearm barrel for preventing discharge of live ammunition from the firearm. The invention includes one embodiment of a modified barrel including a rod member transversely positioned within a portion of the bore of the barrel adjacent to the chamber to prevent chambering or loading of a live round. The modified barrel further includes a standard blank-firing adapter (BFA) fixedly coupled to the distal or muzzle end of the barrel. The invention includes another embodiment of a modified barrel having a modified bore to prevent chambering of a live round. The modified bore is shaped and/or sized to prevent receipt of live rounds and only receipt of blank rounds. The modified bore at the distal end or muzzle of the barrel is shaped and/or sized to mimic the dimensions of a BFA bore, thereby providing a built-in BFA modification for the barrel.
