Native 5 scale swap?

[Cru5ader]

I'm interested in getting a Native 5 in Maxamet (with the gray FRN scale). I was wondering what the scale swap options are for that. Are there any limitations for an FRN model vs a G10? Would I be open to all Native 5 scales with the FRN model, or only FRN scales?

Also, if I am able to swap for any scale, does anyone have recommendations for Native 5 scales?

I haven't done any scale/blade swaps on my Native 5's, but it *appears* the blade dimensions are consistent between the g10 and lightweight models. I know I've seen pics of custom Native 5 scales as well.

I remembered reading this thread a while back and thought it might help:

i have done blade and scale swapping on the G10 versions on native 5's vary easy to do,as for blade swaps from LW-FRN to G10 this also works nicely,but think you must stay in in native 5 series if i recall !scale from another FRN 5 is doable to.
