Many months ago l0ckcr4ck3r and I worked out a design for some manipulation practice stands. I'd actually not gotten any dials mounted to them until recently because I had dial ring bushings that kept the ring from sitting flush against the mount. Anyhow, MBA started carrying the correct bushing and I've got them mounted now. I am really really happy with what he put together for me, so I thought I'd share some photos. Thanks l0ckcr4ck3r so much for taking the time to work with me and design such a beautiful work of art!


Beautiful metal finish! Almost a pitty to cover it up with a dial.

Mounting holes to accept both LH and RH orientations


In the foreground is the first group2 I ever manipulated open


Some of my locks all mounted up.

These are super nice! Awesome work guys.

@l0ckcr4ck3r - Any chance of these being available for general purchase?

I saw your mounting video and these look fantastic. I'd also be interested, l0ckcr4ck3r... very nice work.

Very neat great job keep it up let me know when is available for sale

He mentioned to me that he'd be gauging interest in them.

It was really a privilege (and a surprise!) to receive one of these during the early stages some time ago.
Tumbl3r & l0ckcr4ck3r have put together a nice piece. They're heavy-duty, beautiful, and it's slick as hell!
Put an Ilco on mine and it was THE fastest mounting job I've ever had. Nothin' to it. Minutes instead of hrs.

If you guys find there's enough interest to make a batch, count me in for a handful of 'em. Well, at least 3-5ish

p.s. Sorry if I wasn't suppose to mention I got one lol...
but I HAD to mention how nice they are! Thank you again!

Haha... No problem at all, my friend! I was actually really excited to send you one! The least I could do to show my appreciation for all the mentoring and help you've given me

Id add my name to the list when they go on sale please.

Ill run another batch of them then... PM me with how many you would like and I'll start on the list in a 3-4 weeks.

Sweet! What sorta price are we looking at?

Guess it depends on the total I make, $50 each. I might be able to shave $5 off that price if I make 20 or more of them.

They are made from 3/8" aluminum flat bar, textured and then Hardcoat type III Anodized ( MIL-A-8625F )

Book me down for one please.

If/when this comes to pass.... I'll commit to 3 (three) stands. THANK YOU! Beautiful work.

Definitely keen for at least one!

@l0ckcr4ck3r - Any update on whether or not you'll be making more of these?

Tumbl3r just mentioned these over in the Reddit group and I'm in for two if another batch gets made.
