Is the Thunder legal in CA? or just the Firestorm?

What did you use on the back of the bolt to make a center?

Honestly that is such a testament to what a great safe that is that after all that hassle you’d still buy it again. 😂

Im going to go out on a limb and assume many of you dont appreciate straight cut gears

Weird. I’ve own a Winchester safe now going on 12year. I bought it from Costco. No issues with it aside from having to change the 9v for the keypad every 3 years or so. I don’t agree with the statement when you say they have known keypad issues simply drawing from their automated help response about replacing the battery. It’s just such a thing that people always seem to overlook. It’s kind of a big jump from A to B and it doesn’t really connect the problem. Appreciate the feedback you’re sharing about their lacking of customer support though

Any light strikes after the spring removal?

Moble One or any high end synthetic motor oil works great on any gun.The additive packages in them makes the lube very shear-resistant.

I don't know if Winchester is listening, but I am. No Sale! Great video - thanks.

Did this to my American rim fire and it worked

Why do some experienced shooters say that an 18-inch barrel is not enough to burn all the powder and sufficiently accelerate the projectile?

Thank you for the video. Im currently attending Sonoran Desert Institute for gunsmithing, and jeweling is a part of one of my classes.

I just got one I hope I have the same problem because I am a total loser and everything does go wrong so I'm looking forward to it again I hope it's the keypad and the wheel breaks plus I hope it rust out from the inside out thanks for the video

$450 right now on grabagun

I'm so glad I watched this before I spent ?500.00 on this safe. I think I will look elsewhere.

I like mine. It is very easy to aim with the white on the sights. The first time I fired it was to qualify for my CCW and it was accurate out of the box. I got it because it is small enough to conceal carry, plus I like to have guns in different calibers for when the stores are out of certain ones. Any caliber of ammo is better than having none. IDK why it comes with a 7 round magazine though when the Thunder comes with an 8 round magazine. I got additional Thunder model magazines for my Firestorm since they are interchangeable.

Thank you! I thought I had a defective rifle. I’m definitely going to try this. Although, I don’t have a grinder and buffing wheel. Can I buff it by hand?

RUN Winchester is owned and operated by pieces of 💩. They don’t stand behind the crap that they sell. After $700 for the safe, you have to pay them $100 every year to get into the safe. Fvck Winchester

Winchester - Tractor Supply customer service 🤣🤡😤 Appreciate your honest feedback sir. I was seriously gonna buy one this week for early Black Friday sale - HELL NO!!! SKIP THIS SAFE and COMPANY... 🤷🤯🤬

I purchased mine from army lock with kingpin my apf lower did not work with the juggernaut kit

It's so much better than what it comes with but I guess for 600 bucks you can't complain lol

That thing is super nice. Where’d you get the grips from?

Apply GOI paste to polishing wheel for way better result.

Taurus is short or long action?

Quick pin vs king pin. Safelock vs maglock 🤔 which is best

It just sounded more like a high end rifle.

My Bersa I had in Missouri also would not fire if the mag was out. I think they all come that way.

Great info! I have a Winchester safe, and yes my keypad has failed within 16 months of ownership. Can you please tell me the part number(numbers) so that I can purchase a replacement from Amazon? Thank you in advance for any help you can lend.

Hellfighter works great on my stuff

I have the lefty Ruger GSR scout and have used it since they were first available. Your mistaken about two things. The slots on the bottom of bolt body are for redirection of gases to go down into the magazine, its very much similar to an Mauser 98 design and mud wont be an issue. Also the LC6 trigger is an open trigger design like that of the original Mauser 98, Winchester pre-64, 1903, and M1917. These are far away an much more reliable and field maintained trigger than closed box style types. The Ruger Hawkeye (GSR) has some interesting designs to it that are for reliability and ive had mine perform perfectly in the wet and cold where others have failed.

Recoil is not a function of length, it is almost solely due to weight. You could argue that if all things were equal, a shorter barrel would recoil less, for the same reason that the longer barrel would get more velocity. I have the same rifle, I like it quite a bit. I just put an optic on it finally a couple weeks ago. I was waiting for the Primary Arms GLX 1X to come out as it’s the only prism optic that I know of with enough eye relief to mount in the forward scout position, and I really wanted a prism sight on it. So far I like it and it fits the designs intended use very well.

yea fuck the laws, bought myself a DDM4 V7 and just bent the metal bracket stopping me to reload fuck it

Dude, don't rag on the safe itself. It's a great safe for the price. I shitcanned the digital locks on my three safes (Winchester, Big Horn, and Cannon) and installed the appropriate S&G dial. *NEVER* had a problem.

Best method to smooth up ANY bolt gun- 1) Properly oil the bolt body and grease the cocking cam and bolt lugs. 2) 200 rounds through the gun (at your leasure) and repeat step 1 after every range session. After 200 rounds, that bolt will be SMOOTH. No harmful.abrssives to get in the locking lugs or hamfisted "bubba" BS with power tools😂

You can also use Mothers , Blue Coral or any other chrome polish. Do the bolt and the receiver at the same time.

ty, I just ordered the mini combo, tail stock, and brushes. That bolt looks awesome,

featureless so much better, just get a fixed stock option

not a bad method but I would imagine using some flitz metal polish compound apply it to the bolt install back into the action/rifle and cycle it 2 or 300x would smooth it out and wear it into the weapon itself making it more consistent and reliable in cycling and through the whole action process. would also polish the mating surfaces at same time and act as a rust prevention but I'd still apply some quality lubricant like the lucas you use which I also use

Honestly it sounds the same before and after , I could be wrong 😅 but it probably is smoother 👍

Valve lapping compound is the way to do this. That's the way you hone parts

Your vid is awesome! I'm studying to be a gunsmith, and this hits on a current discussion. Straightforward and simple! Can you provide the end vises you used to hold the bolt?

I would wrap everything I would not want to have abrasion leftovers in with painter's tape and spray liberally with CRC QD electric degreaser afterwards. My knee jerk reaction was to do the same, but then I looked at the bolt more closely and it was perhaps done so on purpose. These small ridges help with scraping field dirt out, while recessions between them retain oil and lubricate cleaned surface on every move. Pretty much like what crosshatch marks in engine cylinder bore do. Polished bolt would require more maintenance as it can't evacuate dirt as efficiently as unmodified bolt does. I personally value reliability over convenience (read: I'm lazy) and decided to leave it as is :)

Ruger should try to do better. Savage doesn’t do that people

Hi, I follow your TH-cam channel directly from Brazil, if you could make a comparative video of the Taurus Expedition with other Rifles that would be excellent, the Taurus Expedition was launched in Brazil and will go on sale in October. Congratulations on the videos.

the newer safes have SecuRam keypads on them. Much less likely to fail. but that is still inexcusable customer service

Getting my bersa 380 thunder tomorrow it’s the blue and black one holds 8+1 getting a 15 mag for it next weekend great video man you’ve earned a subscriber 🖤

had to sub! This is the kind of videos I need! Real time feedback! Hate that you had that terrible customer service.... Actually, NON-CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Good info. I have the 25. Question; does it actually hold 36 rifles?

Could you still unlock it with the backup key?

I know this is an old post but the magazine disconnect is how they ship. I’m in TN and mine has a mag disconnect as well 👍

These California AR laws are an infringement of US citizen's rights. Very sad when CA ignores the US Constitution.
