LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN GAFF S&W 1OO's

It's become too expensive to ship practically anything to Australia these days. I've been saving a very clean set of Smith & Wesson Model 100 for escape gaffing. Is there anyone out there who knows how to internally/mechanically gaff these cuffs and would be willing to provide this service to me for a modest fee? Please let me know.

Elliott,

I have been aware of a technique of gaffing a cuff so that it would ratchet on just right but the unlock motion is exactly equal to locking.
Your cuffs have a friction pin which is the pivot for the spring assisted ratchet inside the cuff.
If you remove this pin with the proper sized pin punch, you can remove the ratchet and then with a carborundum wheal on a Dremel, cut the 90 degree teeth and reduce each tooth to a 45 degree angle on its back side.
This allow one to zip the cuff on as one would do normally and allow you to open them by simply pulling them open, essentially making them bridge jumpers.

I had the chance to apply this procedure to the cuffs that we have as a photo spot which are attached to a cable at our Sheriff Museum.
A kid put them one a short time ago but busted off the key.
The fire department had to cut him free.
I performed the above procedure and now the key is no longer required and I also disabled the double lock.

If you have trouble doing this, I will be happy to help
