(047) Corbin Russwin LFIC picked and gutted

Corbin Russwin has been making their Interchangeable Core (IC) cylinders since the 1960's. Their design is somewhat larger than the Best SFIC design so it is sometimes referred to as "LFIC" (Large Format Interchangeable Core). The cylinders are solidly built and steel features heavily in their construction which helps them stand up to hard use in commercial and industrial settings. They also offer steel pins in some cases which can help withstand some destructive attacks. Unfortunately the age of the design shows through in their fairly open keyway and lack of pick resistant pins. getting the lock to control is still difficult but getting it open is not nearly as challenging as a Best style SFIC.

Sorry about the fumbled disassembly, the plug on my sample is very tightly fitted and likes to jam as it is withdrawn.

Thanks to Tantric from TOOOL NYC for the lock!
