DOH! Help!!

[Batteriesnare]

I put an action lock on my 10/22 a while ago - over a year - one that goes through the mag well and action then loops down and back into the lock. I dug it out, and none of the keys I have/can find open the lock. How can I go about getting the lock off without damaging my firearm?
Thanks!

Bolt cutters?

Bolt cutters?

Thought about that, don't have any though. I'll see what they have at Wally World this afternoon.

An angle grinder would work too.

Surfshack911 metacafe how to pick a lock

[Irving]

Is there enough slack in the cord to just cut it with bolt cutters? If you go that round, I have another of those loop pad locks that you can have.

If you're in the Littleton area my son can pick it or I can cut it.

I think so, I just don't have bolt cutters. I have plenty of the padlocks/loop locks, so I'm not worried about being down one, I was just curious if there was a different way to go about it. I tried Ken's lock picking video, not much luck tho....key entrance is too small.

Hacksaw blade ,reversed so you are cutting away from the firearm.

[brian1277]

give me a call and you can stop by, i have an grinder that will cut it off

[SA Friday]

Dremel and a cutting wheel. Put something between the gun and the cable while cutting just in case you slip off the cable or the wheel goes.

[Great-Kazoo]

Maybe this monkey is on the way?

http://www.monstrous.com/Monstrous_animals/Lock-picking_Monkey_Escapes_Zoo_Again.html

A monkey that freed himself two weeks ago from a Mississippi zoo has escaped again, zoo officials said. Tupelo Buffalo Park and Zoo Manager Kirk Nemecheck and other employees noticed the white-faced capuchin's cage open and lock on the ground around 8:30 a.m. Monday. Oliver and another capuchin named Baby were found wandering nearby. Workers easily captured Baby, but Oliver fled the park headed in the direction of the Tupelo Country Club, Nemecheck said.

"This is the craziest thing I have ever seen," Nemecheck said. "I have heard of chimps and orangutans that can pick locks. I've also heard a guy who swears his raccoon can pick a lock, but I've never heard of a monkey who can pick a lock."

The 9-year-old capuchin, a species of monkey native to South and Central America, freed himself July 31 and led park staff on a chase through the park's trail system before eventually eluding them. He was apprehended Aug. 6 at Tupelo Stone & Masonry after being spotted by a motorist. This marks the third time Oliver has escaped from the zoo. About six-years ago the monkey escaped and ran amok on the grounds of Tupelo Country Club before being captured and returned to the zoo.


On Friday, Nemecheck said he bought $300 worth of new locks for the monkey cage. The cage did not appear to have been tampered with, he said.

I quit using locks on my guns after 2 bad encounters
(1) I left me trigger lock keys at home after driving the 5 hours to hunting camp.
(2) I had to drive 45 minutes back to a co-workers property to look for my trigger lock keys in his pasture after doing some shooting on his property (driving to his place feels like I'm driving to Kansas!). Turns out, the keys had fallen into the door pocket of my trucks passenger door. The whole trip was un-necessary.

+1. I've used one to cut the knob off a rifle bolt handle when I was installing a tac knob and it worked great. Just be patient with it and it'll go right through.

If it a cable like I'm thinking about, a pair of side cutting pliers will go through it like hot knife>butter..
