No one should "have" to modify there military. Disagree with me if you like, but the PM2 has the tip up option. Based on that, I would surmise that the Military machinery and assembly line is not fitted to drill the other end of the scales. Seems like a simple fix? Well changing things out and reconfiguring a line is costly and to what end does it benefit the companies bottom line? To me it seems like a simple cost vs revenue situation. People keep buying the military regardless of the tip up option, the whole "well the washers would get dirty" is bs and total crap. They COULD do it, they don't need to. It would take re-doing there current clip association on the military like the PM2 and re-doing there lineup, if the consumer can do it, a big company surely can....they chose not to. I am not bashing Spyderco, I own several Militarys and PM's. I just think all this modification by the end user is unnecessary and should be and should have already been done by the company itself....its a few screw holes. Over a decade I have no idea how many threads have centered around this or threads that have tailed into this. Spyderco can do it.....they chose not to. I am a HUGE Spydie fan, just hate the BS of how it "should be" not how "the consumer wants options".
