What I used to do with my Rock Island Arsenal M1917A1 when I took it to
shows was to remove the bolt and replace it with another bolt that I had
removed the firing pin from. Took about 5 mins to do this and I'm also
planning on doing this with my C&R Westinghouse M1919 (that's right, not an
A4, but a straight M1919.)
Gotta run

Folks as a full time Gunsmith, I would suggest to remove the firing pins
from all weapons that are on display. This way if someone decides they want
to "try out"some live ammo, it will not fire. Put the firing pin in your
pocket or somewhere handy and if you want the firearm to be functional for a
reenactment, just put the firing pin back in the firearm. Mark M-886
