Firearm Safety Mechanisms and Methods

Abstract

A firearm safety mechanism of the present disclosure has a cylindrical body adapted for insertion into a barrel of a firearm. Further, the safety mechanism has a threaded bore on a first end of the cylindrical body for receiving an insertion tool and a second end for engaging at least a portion of a chamber of a firearm thereby prohibiting rotation of a cylinder of the firearm.

What I claim is: 
     
         1 . A firearm safety mechanism, comprising:
 a cylindrical body adapted for insertion into a barrel of a firearm;   a first threaded bore on at least a first end of the cylindrical body for receiving an insertion tool; and   a second end for engaging at least a portion of a chamber of a firearm thereby prohibiting rotation of a cylinder of the firearm.   
     
     
         2 . The firearm safety mechanism of  claim 1 , wherein s second end of the safety mechanism further comprises a second threaded bore for receiving an insertion tool. 
     
     
         3 . The firearm safety mechanism of  claim 1 , further comprising an insertion tool, the insertion tool comprising:
 a rod-shaped body;   a threaded first end of the rod-shaped body; and   a cap coupled to a second end of the rod-shaped body.   
     
     
         4 . The firearm safety mechanism of  claim 3 , wherein the threaded first end of the rod-shaped body is adapted for coupling to the first threaded bore. 
     
     
         5 . The firearm safety mechanism of  claim 4 , wherein the insertion tool is adapted to push the cylindrical body through the barrel and insert a second end of the cylindrical body into the chamber of the firearm. 
     
     
         6 . The firearm safety mechanism of  claim 5 , wherein the insertion tool threadedly decouples from the cylindrical body such that when the insertion tool is removed from the barrel, the cylindrical body remains at least partially in the chamber.
