Is the J-lock bolt lock not being made anymore... I bought a .221 fireball Classic, and it was the first one I had seen... I hated the damn thing - I had a spare Rem firing pin unit so I replaced it.
It would be nice if the XR-100 I have on order doesn't have one of those damn things.
I thought the "J-lock" was that dumb lock in the end of the bolt/firing pin...
... but I called Remington, and it's just a removable trigger lock (my dealer gives them away for free - it's our state law)
Remington says that the J-lock was introduced in 2002, and they began phasing them out in early 2005. That's the word from the horse!
