hi all,
I'm a beginner in lockpicking and I bought a hand pick set on the net
I ve unlocked many locks with, but I m not able to pick my ABUS 65/40
I think that's because there are mushroom pins
do you know if I can pick all I want with a pick gun ?
is it easy ?
what do u suggest to me ?
TIA
Buy one out of a gun magazine you bought at the store. Yes, you can then
pick any lock in the world, including Medeco and Abloy. It's incredibly
easy. Just do it like on TV.
Incidentally, we don't teach picking on this group, so this advice may not
be valid.
you could try lockpickshop.com, or you could learn how to properly
pick mushroom pins. they're really not hard at all. take a look
around on lockpicking101.com. this group is completely useless for
that kind of information.
No.
A pick gun is a tool to help those skilled in the art, to get the artwork
done.
Buying a revolver doesn't turn you into Annie Oakley.
See above.
Practice, practice and practice.

in 15 years, and several have tried to tell and show me, I have
NEVER picked OR impressioned a Master
an Abus? sure.. have done it both ways..
--Shiva--
That's the idea.
It could be that or it could be you don't know what you are doing or it could
be a combo of the two.
I have no idea if YOU can pick it with a pick gun or any other way.
No.
Use the key.
Good advice.
"Useless"? So are teats on a bull. What's your point?
This group is called "alt.lock_smithing_" not "alt.lock_picking_". Why
would anyone expect different?
Yes you can-have at 'er-you night screw up the lock.If you are really
into picking, stick with the sites mentioned.
Master-Schlage
AK47-M16
Damn You!!!!-JK-LMAO
my point is alt.locksmithing is useless for information on lock
picking.
yes.. which is why I said it was useless for that _kind_ of
information. don't be a jackass.
so a master works in even the most severe conditions and isn't
sensitive and prone to failure when parts of lesser quality are
introduced, and schlage is over compliated, jams up in less than
perfect conditions, and is twice as expensive? damn. I'll stick
with the master.
;)
no, didnt SAY that..
I find Masters MORE prone to 'going bad', amd end up force
removing a lot.. over an Abus, for Instance..
and schlage is over compliated, jams up in less than
and a Schlage padlock?? never seen one as such.. a SCHLAGE key
cylinder in an American, yes..

well you should have then said schlage - master : AK-47 - M16
(read schlage and the AK are both better than the other)
the direct porting of gas onto the face of the bolt carrier like
in Stoner's design, the m16, is prone to failure and picky about
conditions and ammunition. the gas operation of Kalashnikov's AK-47
with it's long stroke piston and rotating locking bolt is far
superrior as it takes less precise machining, which in turn allows
the weapon to fire reliably in all conditions, and will accept any
ammunition regardless of quality. accuracy of said weapons is almost
identical in combat conditions, however the AK was improved to the
AKS-74 which fires a round which has the same external ballistics
of the round the Stoner fires. however, the terminal ballistics
are quite different, but effective in their own ways.
The reason they are not more common is they cost too damn much and other
alternatives are stronger and cheaper.
I suspect that they are a tad more common on the west coast.
Check out DSA's Z4-GTC. Basically the same old AR-15 in an M4 16" configuration
except with a gas piston system instead of the Stoner system. Other companies
are starting to make conversion parts to do the same thing. For example:

Price is a factor, you can buy 2 or 3 AK type rifles for the cost of the
conversion parts, but the price will come down if they catch on.
the gas operation of Kalashnikov's AK-47
Nope. Bought some Remington PMC 7.62X39 about a year ago that was so out of
spec it wouldn't even chamber. Case dimensions were off by as much as 3/8".
Extreme example though. It wouldn't have functioned in anything.
accuracy of said weapons is almost
The 7.62x39 has the ballistics of a frisbee compared to the 5.56.
however the AK was improved to the
Or you can just get the AK variant chambered in 5.56. They are out there.
I believe the schlage padlock is still in production, a few years back it
was manufactured by New Standard in Las Vegas.
Identical lock to the new standard with a schlage logo.
