I've owned a few mini-grips, but recently got an M4. The blade is slightly off centers. Anyone know any tricks for getting it centered barring replace the bronze washers and/or sending it back. I know I can send it back to BM, but I would rather not risk loss or damage.
I'm perfectly capable of full disassembly, tweaking and reassembly. Just need some suggestion from those who have tackled this issue. It's not so far off it runs, but off centered.
I will look for new bronze washers. Anyone know where to find those? Thanks in advance.
 
Before buying new washers maybe swap them from one side to the other see if that helps?
 
With the knife closed.
I would losen all the screws including the clip screws
Now snug down on the pivot. Not real tight, just hand tight.
I then gently, but firmly, apply pressure to each side of the knife in opposite directions.
Left side up/right side down or Left side down/right side up; while at the same time seeing what combination gives you the desired results.
While holding the right effect, start tightening screws. If the tightening of one particular screw ruins the effect. Tighten this problem screw last.
Once all screws are tight, adjust pivot.
 
Redmasta: that was the first thing I tried and the was no notable difference in the off centering. Thanks for the response!

Keyman: I will have to give that a try and see what happens. Thank you too!
