My dislike for the internal lock lead me to carve this custom lock delete plug from a solid bar of carbon steel using a Dremel tool; blue it; and install it in my Model 29-10! It fills in both the key hole, and the flag slot! I do wish someone with a CNC machine would make something like this, the current lock delete offerings available for sale only fill the key hole. This isn't the type of thing I would want to make again by hand. It was born out of an intense desire to delete the lock, but took way longer than was practical. It doesn't "delete" it in terms of a seamless repair, but it does keep dust out of the gun while getting rid of all those little parts.
