Eklipse disassembly question

LGMartialArts · Jul 16, 2014

I was fortunate enough to get a Hinderer Eklipse during Hinderer's last flash sale a couple of weeks ago... anyway, I was wondering if anyone here knows what the standoff sizing is? I tried a T-7, but it didn't fit, and a T-6 is too small. Allen wrench?

Given the similarity in size to a 3.5" XM-18, I would guess a 5/64 Hex would do it.

1/16" hex

Lucky guy I missed the opportunity. Congrats!!!

Thanks for the suggestions... I'll break out my hex tools tomorrow. And yeah, I consider myself super lucky - scored a 3" slicer and then the Eklipse. Sold the slicer right after I got the Eklipse on the Hinderer FB page for slightly over $400 since I could only afford one and obviously the Eklipse won out.

As RDA said 1/16th allen the same as the 3" XM scale screws

Huh. Good to know.

I had to go and buy a new set of wrenches since I couldn't find my old set... anyway, it was indeed the 1/16th that was mentioned. Attached are some pics of the disassembly.

I wasn't guessing.
