photon Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Writing this while hanging my head in shame! Decided last night to try the lock on my 870 safety even though i dont have a key, I know "idle hands and stupidity go well together. So now i have locked it and unable to unlock it, Quick look on youtube shows a guy unlocking it with a hairgrip screwdriver and plyers, not something i want to attempt with my record so far. So anyone out there who has a key and is preferably local medway towns would let me use there key and then shuffle away sheepishly. Or buy one off a member. All comments will be well deserved.

outandabout Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Locksmith perhaps? Or maybe your local RFD could help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Remove the trigger assembly. (The two push bolts) You may be able to access the safety internal parts that way. I fitted a ScatterGun Technologies in place of my normal one....my gun is pre-J Lock safety. ..so if you get stuck for a possible replacement let me know.

Underdog Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 When you do get sorted, don't play with the useless gimmick again ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 UD, cant be that useless if he can't get it off. I would drill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saddler Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Or, PLAN B - contact Remington UK for a key.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Try phoning Bamfords of Eccleston, near Chorley. They did have a couple of the Green colored plastic keys that fit the safety lock. Once you have a key, the safety lock can be applied and removed easily. I would NOT drill or damage the lock in any way, wait until you can source a key.

photon Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Thank you for the suggestions and will get a key soon as. I have managed to sort it out , i removed the safety from the trigger assembly replaced it in the unlocked position and put it back together, Time taken, 1 minute to remove, 1minute to put back and 20 minutes to find the bloody spring that pinged out.
