ABSTRACT:
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 fired unintentionally and for providing an indication visible at some distance that the firearm is in a safe condition. A main body of the device corresponds in size with the magazine for the weapon and includes a top portion which extends into the space left open between the breech and the face of the bolt of the weapon when the bolt is withdrawn. A plunger slidably disposed within the main body is connected with a movable chamber probe which would be prevented from entering the chamber by a round of ammunition, and which prevents the plunger from being moved to a position latching the device in the firearm unless the probe is able to enter the firing chamber. Visible exposure of more than a predetermined portion of the safety device indicates that the safety device is not properly installed in the weapon and that the weapon is therefore not to be considered safe.
