Do Current Production Natives Have Liners?

[South]

I have an older Native and it has plastic handles, with no liners. Do the current production Natives have liners like the Enduras?

Thanks.

The newest model Native 5 does.

The rest do not and they dont really need it IMO.

Native (FRN handle) still doesn't have liners, but Native5 (G10) has

Thanks.

FRN is not plastic either, it's about as much plastic as G10.

Like the native BUT...doesn't have screw together construction .

The native 5 does have screw together construction.

...and the Native 5 also has liners. But it's the exception, when we're talking about Natives.

Is that still true? I ask because over the last year or so most, if not all, the models with unlined FRN handles have been switched over to screws. Realize they may not bother doing that with the Native Lightweight if the FRN version of the Native V is slated to replace it. Just am not sure that's the game plan. So I have to wonder if anyone here has purchased a Native Lightweight with a recent (AL - EL) date code on the box and, if so, how it's put together.
