940-1501 pivot question

[luke86]

Ok I was taking my 940-1501 apart to fix some blade play issues. Upon doing this I discovered it had a different length pivot than my aluminum handled 940. The pivot is longer and the pivot screw is longer than the one on the regular 940. They even use a different threading. The -1501 uses a much closer threading. I happened to mention this to a scale maker when inquiring about possibly having some scales made and he informed me that the 940-1 and regular 940 had the same length pivot. Since the 940-1 and 940-1501 are the exact same thickness one would assume they would use the same length pivot. So I'm now wondering if by chance they put the wrong pivot in my knife. Possibly the pivot from a minigrip. is there anyone who has taken the -1501 apart that could weigh in on this. Or is there anyone who would be willing to. You would only have to remove the pivot screw and compare it to the aluminum 940 or 940-1 since they were different lengths and threading. Anybody with any info on this would be appreciated. Wondering if this is causing my blade play. Thanks
