Has anyone had problems with the J-lock? The 375RUM LSS I bought has it, but I just leave it unlocked, just wondering if it can go screwy while being unlocked.

My primary reason was that I'm contrary. Looks are better sans J-Lock. However, the big advantage was that I could get faster lock time by changing the shroud.

Never ever had a problem with them. I still hate them though.

I can't find the article on this one - Greg used to have a write up about this as well. Don't quote me here, but want to say something about spring kink something or the other.

I too have never had a problem with them but they are unsightly and like was said, I too am contrary. its kind of a subliminal submission to the liberal society that we live in. I will not submit to a J-lock any more than I will trigger locks or ballistic finger printing. What a stupid idea!
For living in the age of information I cannot remember a time where I have heard more stupidity perpetuated by more ignorant people. Lack of education is going to be the downfall of this world not guns.

Funny thing is I had totally forgot about the J-lock on my rifle until I read this thread.

the way the spring kinks up on the J-Lock CAN slow your locktime way down under the right conditions, besides its a pacifyer for the anti's, so get yourself a gre-tan striker assembly.
