Remington M700 - JLock, Any lovers of the JLock here?

[Hungry]

Just curious.... we had an heated debate the other night at my gun club on the merits of the JLock.... My buddies love them, some of them despise them.

Any feedback ? Who loves them ? Both my M700's have the newer shroud WITHOUT the JLock...

Let the debate rage on.....

Jlock me no likey

I'd fall into the despise it group. I had it lock on me with the bolt closed and if that happens it is a ##### to get it unlocked. I've replaced mine with a non-J-lock system.

 

[chappy]

piece of crap system. should be removed if you have one

Simple replace the firing pin and shroud.
Remington did away with the Jlock BS a couple of years ago after they had a suit launched against them for A.D.s

I dont like them.

 

[JohnC]

crap & potential problem wiuth very little real benefit - keeps lawyers happy. if you need a lock get a real one that can be removed when you use the gun

the Remington website on the difference between police and express 870's mentions that they omit the j-lock on police shotguns as an advantage

I personally found the JLock to give the bolt a gritty feel when I had one on my 700VS (22-250) I always swap mine out if I get one and I will generally swap my shroud firing pin and spring with an aftermarket one because I never could leave things alone.

Swapped mine out as well....if you buddies at the range like them so well, I have a long action one that I will sell them

I have one...but if i don't touch it it can't effect anything right?
Or can it?

It can screw up all by itself, mine either did or someone messed with it when I wasn't looking but when I went to use the rifle it was locked with the bolt closed. It is not easy to unlock if locked closed.

I Hate the J-lock thingy for it's looks and function, and despise the Wavy firing pin springs that go along with them.
