Trigger locks & Lever actions?

[Rabbitz]

Are you saying that rolled up in my swag in the back of the ute is not ok for transport?

Well maybe if you put a lock on the straps.

Couldn't imagine anyone wanting to search a smelly old sway in the back of a ute*

I think we are even supposed to have them secured/disabled in the safe too.

Why not just remove the lever for transport?
I have never owned 1 and have no idea about anything to do with them buy my mate used to remove his marlin 30/30 lever every time we went away, from memory it was a fairly quick process.

The lever isn't readily removed (typically). You'd need to remove the sliding bolt (and usually the receiver 'cover' for 22's) to disengage it from the lever, then whatever lever pivot and bits to get the lever out. Oh, and if you have a hammer extension that has to come off before everything else.

From a transport perspective it's about as practical as removing the trigger group on a bolt gun.

Fair enough, didn't take him long to do all that crap then.

There's probably some lever rifles where it can be done quickly.

I also suspect it *might* be possible to manually position the bolt without a lever in it and still fire the rifle. That would probably be a very silly/dangerous thing to try!

I will let you know what the bloke at the gunshop says when we pick it up monday, and what device (if any) he reccomends.

I do like the look of the American ones i put up before, but don't like that the "key" is a simple double spiked piece of metal, easy enough to duplicate.

Looking at how tight they fit the pictured rifle I'd suspect they are rifle model specific. Go the cheap cable type. No-one judges a rifle lock

Yes provided it's tight enough to inhibit the action, for sure.

I do like the idea of something that fits "just so" as where there is movement there may be damage from rubbing etc.

And once I get her beautiful, I intend to keep her that way.

I remove the trigger group from my Martini for transport - a single pin and out she comes. Maybe it was a martini rather than a classic lever?

I use a plastic coated cable lock on my 1873. The cable is long enough to wrap twice around the wrist of the stock and provide a snug fit

Dave you certainly would not remove the lever from a BLR rack end pinion needs to be timed.
