I want to remove the infamous Klinton Lock on a Model 700. Will this be a simple matter of removal of the cylinder for the key and replacing the shroud, or will it require an entire bolt change?
While I hate Kilnton, he had nothing to do with the J-lock. That's all Remington's doing. While they look stupid, I see no problem at all with them. Don't like it? Lock it open and put away the key.
If you must raise your blood pressure over a triviality, Brownells sells replacement bolt shrouds without the lock.

Ron, Although I am not 'smith. If U decide to strip the bolt U will find a firing pin spring that looks like a "Snake". I don't c how this can do any good 4 the consistancy of the firing pin. I replaced the whole assembly with 1 from Brownells. Darrel Holland also make 1.

No. The J-lock requires positive action from the shooter to both lock and unlock. Same as every single other built-in firearm lock that I'm aware of.

No raised blood pressure here, but it does detract from the clean lines somewhat, I would say it's more like having a small sliver of metal in one of your fingers that you can't see to remove yet it let's you know it's still there on occasion.

Yes, and that's what 99% of the shooters do. "Unlock" it, then lose the key, as they have no further use for it. Once "unlocked", it will stay that way unless you decide to "re-lock" it, using the key.
