LIVE-ROUND PREVENTION WITH BUILT-IN BLANK FIRING ADAPTER

摘要

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.
