I wanted to see how you lock up your rifle without a tall gun safe. I recently purchased an AR and need a safe way to keep it secure...

Thanks for weighing in....

you could also field strip it and lock up the bolt in a smaller safe so the rest is rendered useless if stolen or fiddled with .

Pretty much this, but secure it to the wall with an eye bolt.

I lock up the bolt to my mosin & have one of those shitty locks on my ar.

Bolt to your mosin?? Do you have a rare mosin or something?

As for the Ar I take the bolt out and close it back up, no locks.

You could use a Life Jacket Lock #LJ-4

Not quickest access, but very sturdy for its lightweight

It's not anti-theft I'm doing just keeping the kids out.

Buy a safe or a locking cabinet, at the very least, if you have small children. Educate them that firearms are for adults or to be used only with adult supervision. If they are to small or otherwise unable to understand, lock the whole shebang up in a safe, and the safe inside a locked room or somesuch. Get a dog, also

Is it ok to keep the spring compressed when storing a rifle? I have a cable lock on my 10/22 through the receiver and out the mag well but I'm concerned if it's ok for the spring. Same thing goes for my AR so I have that one in a locked hard case.
