Firearm with Integral Ammunition Chamber

Abstract

A restricted capacity firearm having an internal, integral ammunition chamber, and a method and device for converting an existing magazine fed firearm, such as an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and/or semi-automatic pistol, into a restricted capacity firearm having an internal, integral ammunition, chamber are provided. In accordance therewith, the existing lower receiver of an AR-15 may be replaced with a new lower receiver having an internal, integral ammunition chamber. The new lower receiver may be configured so that the firearm may be opened using the existing pivot pin of the AR-15 to allow refilling of the ammunition chamber. Alternatively, the replacement lower receiver may be configured such that the internal, integral ammunition chamber can only be refilled by disassembling the firearm. A handheld semi-automatic pistol frame and slide embodiment may also be configured to contain an internal, integral ammunition chamber with limited capacity.
