1597G10 Offset clip screw problem?

[OregonEdge]

One little issue I had on the G10 offset that's not a real big deal to me, since I don't want the clip on. But, Once I removed the clip, I tried to put it back on just to double check to make sure I didn't want it. Upon very light tightening, I was unable to get the screws to screw fully. It appears the threads in the handle are in the G10, not any kind of liner. Anyone else have this issue?

the threads for the screws are machined right into the G10... so I'm guessing it didn't take much to strip?

I believe that the screws are threaded into nuts that are set into the backs of the G-10. Double check that they didn't fall out.

Hopefully I'm remembering this correctly, it's been a
while since I swapped my G-10 handles.

Good point! I'll check for that next time I'm under the hood... although I don't remember taking that scale off. Oh well, I don't want the clip on there anyway.

I took the pocket-clip off of one of my Cyclones, and it really feels GREAT that way. It's one of my EDC's that I carry in a horizontal belt sheath, and it's perfect that way.
