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!

Don't know if anyone mentioned this yet, but have you thought about shooting the lock off....

just kidding just kidding, don't do that

Thank you guys for all the help! I appreciate it, I feel like a dummy for losing the key, but again thank you!

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.

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.

+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..
