FBM rivets

[notsnhoj]

Does the Combat Grade FBM have the same rivets as the LE (brass-colored) or are they the silver (Aluminum?) ones?

My CG has silver bolsters.

My CG has silver bolsters.

Strange, my CG has brass-colored bolsters.

 

[clone7]

my LE has sliver.

 

[xanax]

silver here so far (CG)

 

[C. STORR]

My LE has silver

 

[Lil' Foo]

All silver here... 2 CGs and 1 LE

 

[OldPhysics]

Just a CG...so far. With silver bolsters.

They do look brass until you examine them closely, because my CG has snakeskin handles.

Here's mine compared to my ak (which definitely has silver/aluminum-looking bolsters):

All of mine are silver or is it nickel? I wonder if there's any difference in strength between nickel and brass.

I was wondering the same thing. At least the silver ones wont turn colors like the old brass ones. I had a couple SHBM's that I could see cracks in the middle of the tube inside the handle. And they turned a greenish color ever once in a while and needed a cleaning. So maybe this is an upgrade? Hope so.

Silver on my CG...one day I will tell you about my LE.

Same here. Maybe today?
