Manipulation #5SARGENT AND GREENLEAF R6700 Series(
standard ... Group 2 ... 3 wheel ... key change ... spring loaded fence)
Been seeing these on alot of gun safes as of late. They're so beautiful, I just had to get one.
I also couldn't resist spending a little extra money for some nice walnut on which to mount it.
As usual, after a lock has been mounted, its' first stop is with the gorgeous Alison (
my official combo-change girl)
The approach I've taken here, is a method I first seen utilized by Mark Bates.
Rather than elaborating on it once again, simply refer back to Manipulation #2 if you're interested.
But a quick recap: We know that w3 will be the first to read in the majority of locks. Then w2, then w1.
Given this knowledge, we start out by immediately attacking wheel 3.
I park wheels 1 and 2 in the middle of the forbidden zone at 10... and run w3
- - L32Parking the first wheel at zero, I now run w2 while placing w3 on its known gate at 32.
- R54.5 - L32Finding the final piece to this puzzle is now a matter of trial and error.
I simply run w1 while placing wheels 2 and 3 on their known gates, until...
OPEN: L80 - R54.5 - L32My personal best free-spin time to date!!
. . . . . . . . . CONCLUSIONS . . . . . . . . .Not every lock is going to read this way, nor fall into place so perfectly as it did here.
Nevertheless, this experience was a huge confidence booster for me as I looked back
to my beginnings just 2 months ago...
viewtopic.php?p=62015#p62015However, at this point I know
just enough about manipulation to know I don't know shit! lol
I will not make the mistake of replacing my confidence with cockiness, and allow my mind
to close up. I have an enormous, ENORMOUS amout to be learned yet. It's only the start.
. . . . . . . . . . . . QUESTIONS . . . . . . . . . . . .Rather than posing more questions, I think I'll leave this section blank for a change.
If you have a hankerin' to give some answers though.... there's
plenty of
open-ended questions yet to be had throughout this thread.
hint hint lol
As always: I thoroughly welcome & appreciate ANY comments, corrections, advice, etc. on manipulation.
Also, if I may be so bold to add this time: I would be overjoyed to receive any pm's or emails
in regards to manipulation... be it a certain book you'd recommend I seek out, a PDF you're
willing to share, or some obscure website I've yet to come across. Anything's appreciated!
If not, that's ok too!
I WILL eventually reach my destination regardless...
only difference is that the road just might be a bit longer with more curves. lol
