This patent application describes an accessory for lever action rifles which enables the user to secure such rifles against unauthorized use with readily available trigger style locks. Lever action rifles are inherently difficult to secure due to the integration of the operating lever and trigger guard. Common trigger locks rely on the immobility of the trigger guard to secure themselves in place. A lever action arrangement renders this method useless, as the combination operating lever and trigger guard can be swung out of the way, freeing the lock from the rifle, and enabling unauthorized use. Many designs for cable style locks exist, but these almost all require that cable be threaded either through the action or the barrel of the rifle, which poses a risk of damage to the rifle and is usually rather difficult to achieve. Also, these designs force the action to remain open, exposing them to potentially dangerous contamination. This invention obviates the need for such locks with their inherent risks and difficulties by simply providing for the concurrent securing of the trigger and of the lever action to the rifle stock. Thus, users will be enabled to simply and inexpensively secure their rifles, without creating unnecessary risks or difficulty.
