One question, will the SC-1 plug work in the SC-4 shell? I thought that the sc-1 was drilled in five positions? Or did I misunderstand what you did?

A great tutorial, is that the lock that USMC banged on a rock?!? (same type of lock anyway)

yes. the key profile is generally identical sc1 & SC4 are the same, but the sc4 blank is longer,
and the end (6th) chamber,which is empty in an SC1, is pinned.
you will find the same principle in effect in an american 1105, for example, where the plug comes pinned and keyed to a 5 pin setup,with an empty 6th chamber, allowing for an upgrade to six pins, as i have done in a few of my vids, both by using a six pin key,(in this case a key from a brink's maximum security shrouded)

and also by running the sixth pin off the key tip of a five-pin key.
