Muzzel,

:lol: If you J lock is located there, you've got some problems bud. :wink:

Someone told me once why it was there......I can't remember, I know I'm going to feel dumb when someone posts it here. ARRH I can't remember :x

I guess I didn't bother to remember cuz it wasn't that important....BUT NOW I WANNA KNOW!

It is to vent gas away from you if you have a catastrophic case failure.

What the heck was I talkin about? lol.

I didn't think it was a chamber vent because it sounded like it was on the opposite side of the rifle to me...Never seen a J lock either. We don't need em here cause we gotta have a safe by law anyhow

 

[spade]

lol muzzle your j-lock would be integrated into your safely... you activate the safety nd then use this little green "KEY" to turn it, locking the bolt closed and the firing pin down.

Rumor has it that Remmington has dropped the J lock now.

Thanks Celt. I knew there was a reason why I didn't bother remembering. :lol:
