Aftermarket scales on a 556-1?

[sharkattacksw]

Might be a silly question, but not having the knife, I'm not sure. Will aftermarket scales for normal Mini Grips fit the new 556-1 series of Mini Grips? I wasn't sure if the liners were different between the 2 different series, making scale swaps difficult.

Thanks for the info guys.

Picked these up from AWT for a Mini Grip and they fit perfectly on my 556-1.

The pivot is different in the standard mini grip and the new -1 models. The new ones have a slightly longer pivot. Just depends on how the scales are made whether they will fit or not. I would imagine most scale makers would make scales so they accommodate both.
