Help: Hex wrench size on Gen2 Hinderer XM-18 3" for pocket clip, filler tab etc?

[Mark in Oz]

I've got an old (gen 2?) Hinderer XM-18 3 inch that I've had for 10+ years. On the scale side the imperial hex wrench is 1/16. On the lock bar side, the pocket clip, pocket clip filler tab and stop pin screws are a smaller hex wrench screw, but I'm not sure what size to buy. Does anyone know what size imperial hex wrench will fit these small hex screws?

I'm pretty sure the old XM-18 3" used a .050" allen head on the pocket clip and filler tab before they switched to Phillips head screws.

Ahh, thank you, that does look right. I didn't realise imperial went decimal under a certain size.

Don't you love it when you find a knife that needs it's own special set of tools?
