ABSTRACT:
In firearms which have a removable magazine feed, provision is made to insert a key operated safety magazine unit which replaces the existing magazine unit. The safety magazine unit locks itself into the magazine well of the firearm when actuated by a removable key. Locking of the safety magazine unit prevents its removal from the magazine well of the firearm and replacement by a magazine with live ammunition. Locking of the safety magazine unit also immobilizes the firing mechanism of the firearm. Immobilization results from an internal blocking of the breech or bolt action necessary for the weapon to be opened or fired. Installation of a safety magazine unit completely immobilizes the firearm preventing its unauthorized firing. The safety magazine unit does not interfere with any of the weapon's inherent safety features.
