Were they for sale for the 0566?

Awesome!

Thank you! And I am well aware of the blue lock bar stabilizer, I just felt like it would be overkill...that is only my opinion, but I made a conscious effort to leave out the LBS, I thank you. For anyone who is interested in the LBS mod they should know that it is available for around only $12.

I am looking for a Blue pivot screw though...and if you know, if the Hinderer pivot screw would fit, I would be extremely interested!!

Ah, okay; good point. If I come across anything about the pivot screw, I'll pass it along.

Badass.

Why the JB weld though?

The JB Weld was added to provide support for the larger washers.

Where did you get larger washers from? Thanks

There are titanium pivot bolts/screws on the old auction site now too...

Also, are those scale screws more flush than the stock ones? Obviously they are a different style, but if they flush well then I might need a set of bronze ones for my black washed 0566

Usaknifemakers.com I believe, I followed blairtech's link, but it looks like it's down now.

Yeah, they flush well. I'll have to go check out the pivot screws, thanks for the heads up!

I have a 566 on the way, and I may want to also make the de-assist mod. What size washers did you use inside and outside diameter? Thank you. That knife looks AMAZING! :thumbup: I can't wait for mine.

You know, I honestly can't remember...it's been almost a year and at the time I just followed blairtech's link (which is broken now) I want to say 3/16"x1/2" but don't hold me to it, and as for the thickness I'm afraid I won't be much help...you could try asking blairtech, or getting a cheap set of calipers and measuring the large factory washer. The ones installed had a slightly larger OD, but otherwise were identical to the large factory washer. Sorry I couldn't be more help...good luck!
