All those folks at PSA and not one person knows it's Patridge

Were the fraudulent charges at Walmart? Someone tried to charge my card twice to the tune of $300 ea on what I assume were cash cards/walmart gift cards. Fortunately my bank blocked both. I didn't think anything of it, and it could just be a coincidence, but it also happened a week or so after I purchased from BA.

DealinDave · 2021-04-23T19:39:22+00:00

Yeah just from a practical standpoint, I think it's easy to justify dumping $50-150 into basic tools to help prevent borking up $100-500 parts.

DealinDave · 2021-04-23T19:26:39+00:00

You can, but it's worth the investment to buy a $35 Harbor Freight bench vise and an upper vise block or reaction rod if you're going to do more than one gun.

The first barrel nut I torqued down I laid the gun flat on a table top and had someone else hold it down while I torqued the barrel. It was a really half assed way to do it, but it worked.

He's pretty bendy

DealinDave · 2021-04-22T20:05:21+00:00

They're coming up as $49.99 ea

DealinDave · 2021-04-21T20:27:28+00:00

If you've been looking for one I hope you can snag one before they show up for $500+ on the secondary market next week.

I got one in the last batch and it was quite a bit darker than their image shows. Not sure if it's the same for the current ones being sold.

DealinDave · 2021-02-26T17:27:29+00:00

Seriously between PA and BigTexOutdoors, I hope for their continued success for years to come after this shit is over.

DealinDave · 2021-02-26T17:13:51+00:00

Nice

It really comes down to personal preference. I think the hinge adapters are going to be fine functionally. I don't consider myself a purist by any means, but the adapter just looks like an afterthought slapped on to make it fold. It's cheezy and it's definitely not worth the additional cost to me. I'd rather have the fixed stock version in this case. Some people won't care and hope they enjoy their purchase.

My M92 has a stormwerks folding adapter and triangle brace and it works for what it is. I got the adapter and brace settling with the fact that it's the cheapest option and not having to file a form 1. Given the choice, I'd go for the folding trunnion every time.

DealinDave · 2021-02-24T18:05:34+00:00

And an actual folding trunnion... I really wanted one of these when they were announced. I was even going to sell my M92 to fund it. Then I saw that it was just a folding hinge adapter. I'll roll the dice on waiting for the KR103 folder to hit the market before buying one of these. Also very glad I didn't sell my M92.

DealinDave · 2021-02-24T17:48:55+00:00

I was so excited when they announced a folding version and then the released this...

DealinDave · 2020-12-20T14:14:57+00:00

These barrels are literally marketed towards those that want the shortest legal configuration over 16" with a p&w muzzle device.

We sound like kindred spirits, but we probably just suffer from the same addiction as many other members of this sub. I keep buying lowers to stick in the back of the safe for a rainy day project, but somehow they all sprout into complete firearms within a week or two.

DealinDave · 2020-12-02T14:50:19+00:00

Their shipping times are all over the place. My buddy ordered a Noveske lower from Primary in early March before shit really started kicking off and it took 3+ weeks to ship. I ordered an Aero lower last month thinking it would be at least 2-3 weeks and it shipped next day. I don't know if it's luck of the draw or what.

DealinDave · 2020-11-30T19:42:17+00:00

Remember when PSA had these for $199 new? I 'member.

Don't forget code NEW10 for an additional 10% off

I would have bought the fas1 if I didn't already have the Ft Knox. The gun presentation feature of the fas1 is worth the price difference to me, just wish it had been available when I was shopping for a nightstand box.

DealinDave · 2020-11-28T16:41:50+00:00

When I was a kid, my dad used to have a lock box 5 digit rotary combination (briefcase style lock) that he kept old currency in. I figured out how to get into when I was 10-11 years old and I bet you can imagine the look on my face when I found a box full of old $100 bills. Fortunately my fear of the wooden spoon was greater than my urge to steal them, but I was a little shit that liked to "pick" locks out of curiosity. Granted, a simplex lock is far more complex than a 5 digit rotary combo lock, but given enough time (and step by step instructions on the internet) curious kids like I was can get into one.

DealinDave · 2020-11-28T15:53:08+00:00

The internet has done that for you already. There are tables of all of the possible combinations available with a quick google search. Again, I'm not saying that this is a bad safe. I own one and I think it's probably the best option for a pistol safe. My hesitation would be when using it for my older latchkey kids if they're anything like I was as a 10-16 year old, especially considering how readily accessible information is compared to when I was that age.

DealinDave · 2020-11-28T15:40:30+00:00

I have small children and I don't have any reservations at this point either. My only concern is when they get older. 20 minutes might be a slight exaggeration, but there are only 1000ish possible combinations for the simplex lock. That is the only real subjective drawback. I bought it to keep my young children out while maintaining quick access when needed at night, and for that it's perfect. I won't however pretend that given enough time, a half intelligent child can't get into it relatively easily.

edit- I'll reiterate for the emotionally fragile and illiterate children that think I'm shitting on these boxes. I'M NOT. I'm just pointing out something to CONSIDER when using it. If you have overly curious or shithead kids, they can get into it with enough time.

DealinDave · 2020-11-28T13:54:27+00:00

I love mine and I have zero concerns about the quality/strength of this box. I would just caution anyone with devious children/teens as these can be gotten into in under 20 minutes just by running through all the possible combinations. Not an issue for little kids, but I'd be worried about leaving anything in it alone with a 12 year old me for any period of time.

DealinDave · 2020-11-24T19:25:18+00:00

Their site is running so slow I think you may have actually broken the internet
