If you've ever hefted a blue (Rings)/red (ASP) training rifle or shotgun, you will find they are inordinately heavy. Primary uses for us were in DT when teaching weapon retention. I really can't see why you would want one for practice.
As several have mentioned buy an airsoft rifle.
What I'm going to do is build an AR out of the junk parts that I have. To ensure that it never fires I will tig weld the chamber shut and since I'm not putting a bolt in it- no reason to, I will probably fill the upper with Acraglas, MarineTex or similar. No way to chamber a round and no way to even put a bolt in the upper should take care of any concerns of it ever accidentally firing a round.
Aside from mounting, sight picture, position and sling work what good is this rifle going to be? Actually, now that I wrote it out that is quite a bit but you are limiting your dry fire opportunity. Take the barrel, remove the extension, weld the chamber, reinstall the extension, and build your upper. Now you have an inert upper you can use with any lower. Impossible to chamber a round and with modified mags you can practice the complete manual of arms.

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.
Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
