Hi NIB. Thanx for the input. good stuff.
The stepped lanyard pipe is a major part of the construction of the Military and contributes to the stiffness. A larger one would fit (we'll be re-tooling for the new model anyway). The pipe is curretnly 4mm in diameter. What diameter would work for you?
The washers is where the action comes from, it also prevents the G10 from scratching the steel (G10 contains glass, glass is harder than steel).
You are not the first to request common phillips screws, on the other hand, we are not thrilled with people taking them apart.
A tip up carry option would require a 2nd clip to be included (which we are also considering for the Chinook). It would also permit left/right options. It does cost more.
Hi General. You're on page 6, I'm still on page 2.
