MP15-22 Locking Device

[sickf4i]

Anyone using a cable lock? I am only using a trigger lock because I am afraid of doing anything to the ejector since it seems to be very sensitive. I have no kids in my place, no safe, and do not need it readily available (not for self defense). I just want to keep it safe.

What exactly are you worried a cable lock would do to the ejector? I don't have an M&P15-22, but I can't imagine resting any part of the bolt under spring pressure against a plastic coated cable would do anything to it. If it did, I would really worry about firing the thing.

That said, cable locks are easy to cut with a pair of bolt cutters (or tin snips even with most of them). Trigger locks are equally easy to pry apart with a pair of screw drivers as I discovered once when I forgot the key to one I had. I would think you are better off just keeping such guns in a locking cabinet or gun locker. You are not required to transport longarms locked in any way, so I don't really see any advantages to those things. I used to use them, but I got sick of having a bunch of keys and gave up when I bought a safe. That said, there are types where you can buy a bunch of them using the same key if you want to use them (both in cable and trigger lock style).

A lot of people are having troubles with their ejectors on these rifles. The minor fix is to slightly move the ejector 1/16th of an inch. I'm just worried about when inserting/removing the cable hitting the ejector. Or when just handling it with the cable hooked up. It's just me being paranoid. Thanks for the info.
