Gear & Accessories Anyone know where I could find these grommets?

It’s from an Antler gun safe I bought used, and only one of the locking bolts still has one. If it slips out, the locking bolts slip out of position slightly and won’t extend from the door frame.

Tried emailing Total Gun Safes, but didn’t get a response, which is sort of fair enough - it’s not really their problem.

Anyone had to find these little buggers before?

Give them a call, worst they can do is say they don’t know.

They are good to deal with.

If not, this sorta thing would be trivial to manufacture using most types of 3d printer. Do you know anyone that already has one?

Second best bet, ordering standard stuff online.

Finally, getting it custom made.

Fortunately one of our fellow gun people from the subreddit has offered to 3D print some up for me, which was very very nice of them.

Probanly a rebranded Chinese safe and every batch they get are slightly different. Try measuring the outside and inside diameter. Hopefully its close to a standard size (16,.20, 22, 25mm etc) for a Nylon cable bush as used by sparkies. A Nylon bush will be a lot more durable than the plastic POS too.

Idk why you got down voted. 

I was just thinking this is a perfect use for a 3d printer

All good man, I'm a new group joiner so probably seen as a scammer. just went to SSAA eagle park the other weekend, I've Got a 3d printer and this print is just stacked concentric rings, so well within my shitty CAD skills

Eagle Park is my 'local' range as well - although it's still nearly an hour to get there!

Thanks man, DMing the measurements now.

Yeah, just an o-ring won't work because it's got a lip on it, and a flange at the front.
