Anyone have any information about a API grand slam, GS 2500 magnum? Found one at a yard sale for a give away price. I looked it over very good, all welds solid. I plan on replacing both chains, and adding third hand stabilizer straps. I’d like to know the specifics of it, weight limit especially. Solid looking stand, lighter then my loggy bayou’s

I bought an API used almost 25 years ago, and still use it frequently. Pretty sure it's the Grand Slam model. I did replace the chains about 15 years ago, and the replacement set still looks new, compared to the original set which were beat pretty good. At my heaviest, I was over 340lbs, and fully dressed with a full pack would have been considerably heavier. I never had any distrust in that stand even then... it's always been rock solid and comfortable. If I had to nitpick, it's almost impossible to get into a tree quietly with it. One of these days I may pour some expanding foam into the rails to see if it quiets it down some.
As an aside, I did order the wrong set of chains initially, and the return window had closed till I pulled them out of the box to put them on the stand, so they're still residing in my basement. They might fit yours, and I'd cut you a pretty decent deal on them if you're interested and we can confirm fit.
