A safety device for use with a repeating firearm having a magazine well for holding a box-like removable magazine, to prevent the firearm from being unintentionally fired and for providing an indication visible at some distance that the firearm is in such a safe condition. A plug having a body whose dimensions correspond with those of a portion of a magazine for such a weapon includes flanges to close the magazine-receiving opening of the magazine well, a top portion which extends from the magazine well into the space which is occupied by the bolt of the weapon when the bolt is in a position closing the breech of the firing chamber of the weapon, and a member which holds a bolt latch in a position locking the bolt open. The body includes a detent for interacting with a magazine retention latch of the firearm to retain the safety device within the magazine well, with a portion of the device being visible externally as an indication that the safety device is operatively installed in the weapon. Visible exposure of more than a predetermined portion of the safety device provides an indication that the safety device is not properly installed in the weapon and that the weapon is not in a safe condition.

Externally visible safety device for firearms

A key operated safety locking device of a tubular magazine firearm has comprising a body insertable through a loading port thereof so as to be contained substantially completely within the tubular magazine forming a snug fit with a rim of the loading port and containing a key operated latching member engaging behind the rim of the loading port; an action bar engaging projection extending rearwardly from the body into engagement with an action bar lock of the firearm to pivot the action bar, raising a connector out of alignment with a sear into an inoperative position so that squeezing the trigger cannot effect release of the hammer and the firearm will not fire. In an alternative, a hammer blocking member is carried by the body and maintains the hammer spaced apart from the firing pin.

Safety locking devices for tubular magazine firearms

A safety device for a repeating firearm includes a main body which fits in the magazine well of the firearm, closing its outer end. An outer end of the main body is clearly visible at the outer end of the magazine well when the main body is properly located therein. A chamber-blocking member movably attached to the main body excludes cartridges from the firing chamber of the weapon and, in one embodiment of the invention, includes a barrier which prevents a firing pin from reaching the primer of a cartridge which may be located in the firing chamber undetected. The chamber-blocking member, in one embodiment of the invention, is pivotably attached to the main body. In another embodiment of the invention the chamber-blocking member is a cylindrical plug attached to the main body by a flexible cable.

Safety device for firearms using removable magazines

A safety plug device (10) for the firing chambers (101) of firearms (100) such as pistols (100') and rifles (100") wherein the safety plug device (10) comprises a stepped shoulder generally cylindrical plug member (13) having a tab member (16) with an enlarged flag portion (17) formed on its upper end; wherein, the plug member (13) and a portion of the tab member (16) are dimensioned to be received in the firing chamber (101) while flag portion (17) will project a substantial distance above the slide bolt mechanism (103) of the firearms (100) to indicate that the weapon is unloaded.

Safety device for automatic firearms

The present invention presents a locking assembly which may be installed in a firearm during manufacture or as a retrofit to an existing firearm and which locks the bolt of the firearm against normal movement in the receiver. The assembly includes a cylinder lock installed in the stock of the firearm below the receiver and which has a locking element which is extendable through an aperture in the receiver to engage a blind aperture provided in the bolt. In this manner the assembly locks the bolt in a position which prevents loading and firing of the weapon and which also prevents its disassembly until the lock is released. The locking assembly may also be provided in kit form for retrofitting particular makes and models of firearms wherein the kit includes the lock assembly, a replacement receiver, a replacement bolt and a template for locating the position on the stock in which to install the lock assembly.
