    Hello,

    Looking to borrow a .45 bore lock for an FN FNX-45 I recently purchased. I live in the Baltimore area and work in the Jessup area. Willing to travel a reasonable distance if someone could assist.

    Kind Regards,
    -RPhil

    How would 9mm bore lock work on a .22? Too big


    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Base case size is the same,9mm an .223 the lock being asked for. Some locks will "swell" (expand) enough to hold. An some shops just want the lock installed, placed in the chamber.

    Problem with AR pistols is the barrel length. The key is too short as most are for 6" barrels.

    If anybody on the Shore needs to borrow a .22lr (6" auto),44-40 (8 3/4"revolver), 9mm(6"auto) and 45ACP,GAP (6"auto), I have them.

    Now I understand. I’ve never had a shop, any shop, care whether or not it was installed all the way into the chamber. Only needs to make it out the door anyway before it’s removed.

    I have never had a dealer ask me to install the lock into the pistol. Most of mine are still in the unopened original packaging.

    I have one Omega. I have been using the same one since the law went into effect. I don't know what dealers you guys are going to, but I am asked if I have it or just show it. I forgot it once and I was "sold" one to walk out the door. I place the item in my truck and promptly returned it.

    Same here and they have usually supplied a bicycle type cable lock with the purchase. I wonder if the OP was told this by the seller or just over thinking things?

    Anyone near Crofton or Annapolis have a longer 9mm lock that would work with an AR pistol with 8” barrel?
