New battery no help.
Not real happy, since Christmas is usually when we do some family shootin' (...I laugh when I think how strange that must sound to city-folk...

I get ticked enough at some family members the rest of the year, so can't wait until Christmas to do some "family shootin" Some of them need taken care of right away!AJMD429 wrote: Not real happy, since Christmas is usually when we do some family shootin' (...I laugh when I think how strange that must sound to city-folk...).
That's the answer - if you have to go digital, does it have a key bypass?Pitchy wrote:Didn`t you guys with electronics safes come with keys to open them, mine did it`s a Stack on.

yea well I had the tumblers slip in mine, $350 to get it opened, now I have a electric lock on it. So you can get 'got' either way.Sixgun wrote:I guess I'm too "old school" and have lived in a mechanical world and don't believe I'll ever get out of it. I never did trust electronics of any kind, unless of course I'm forced to. If I have a choice, I always go for the mechanical variation. Even when I bought my last new Jeep, I was adamant to the salesman about roll up windows vs. the motorized ones. Did not even want air conditioning but I had no choice on that.
I like things that when they break, I don't have to call anyone. Still use Maytag wringer washers.----6
I have read that this can happen if you slam the door shut on some safes. Is that what happened??buckeyeshooter wrote: yea well I had the tumblers slip in mine, $350 to get it opened, now I have a electric lock on it. So you can get 'got' either way.
Agree with you about Mechanical/Electrical mechanical over electronics. Am amazed that you get your lady to use a wringer washer.

Can't happen on mine... nearly air-tight, air compression slows it down so it just barely closes, still have to push it the last bit to engage the lugs!JohndeFresno wrote:I have read that this can happen if you slam the door shut on some safes.

Thanks I asked about it another thread, I remember when ya could buy one in Gun list or something about 20 years ago or so for 1,500 bucks sure wish I`d would of bought one.Sixgun wrote:Pitchy wrote:And I asked if you had a BAR and no reply.
Sorry Pitch....didn't see it....
It's nothing special...semi automatic...but dang!!!! This baby shoots! It's almost a little scarey, pumping out '06's as fast as I can pull the trigger....and little recoil.
There's a reason for my signature line.....I've got a few AR-'s and those babies shoot as does the M1A.......but there ain't nothin like the BAR....unless, if course, you have a Ma Deuce floatin' around.
After ripping off a couple of XX mags, you feel......so realaxed!----6

1) ...if the number sequence is too close together that can/will cause unusual tumbler wear and lead to locking/unlocking problems.
2) ...unusual tumbler wear could/can also occur if quickly spinning the dial several times before applying the combination sequence to unlock.
3) ...doing the same after locking the safe dial can/will cause excessive tumbler wear.
My Stack-on pistol safe failed yesterday, top 2 rows of keypad don't work. 3 new batteries, still no luck. Half hour search for manual revealed there are in fact keys for backup. Another half hour search for keys and safe is open. I don't think I'll bother getting the keypad fixed, just keep track of the keys, perhaps keep them in one of the other electronic safes.Pitchy wrote:Didn`t you guys with electronics safes come with keys to open them, mine did it`s a Stack on.
