[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1399609, member: 54178"] Super, Either a spring loaded ball & detent lock or a strong, small rare earth magnet imbedded in the stock beneath the bolt handle would hold the bolt but also ALWAYS make it slower to operate. "Alternate Plan B" A V-shaped lever on the rear, right side of the receiver, ([I]pivoting on the bottom of the[/I] [I]V)[/I] and attached to the inside of the stock may be the best answer. It would look like a Remington safety but be a dedicated bolt lock. The short forward end of the V would rise on rearward movement of the exposed, knurled top of the rear of the V. As the forward portion of the V rose its end would impinge into a machined slot in the bolt bottom. The long rear side of the V would have a knurled end for thumb operation as in a Remington safety. Likely this V would itself need either two spring loaded ball locks to hold it in either "Lock" and "Open" positions with detents in both front and rear sides of the V. OR one spring loaded ball impinging into one of two detents to receive the ball in either position. This requires the base of the V to be wide enough to accommodate two detents with the V is in "Lock" or "Open" position. (Clear as mud now?) I proposed this solution to Anarchy Outdoors last week.
