[bandagedfingers]

I just got a set of black scales in for my paramilitary 2. I removed the camo ones and now its all blacked out. What do you guys think?

Is the blade Black? Hard to tell with flash on the camera.

Looks good. Any plans for the camo scales? You could remove the camo to make them jade.

Looks nice

Do tell us how!?

Do tell us how!?

Sanding down the camo layer will reveal the transparent jade scales. I have read that the scales are thinner as a result and the screws will also be a tad long. But that is easily fixed also.

I have not done this personally but have seen a few different threads where this has been done.

That's a great idea.

Nice job OP! I like the blk/blk PM2..

The only thing holding me back on sanding down my camo, is waiting for the Jade/M4 PM2 coming out!

I also just did a scale swap..

I have a "small" thing for the Foliage Green scales and from the get go, wanted a blacked out version.. I just couldn't bring myself to removing the Elmax or breaking down a sprint..

Now I broke 2 down, to make 1 sprint sprint.. Lol.. (The extra Foliage scales came from another member)

(I didn't have one in CTS-XHP) Lol..

:thumbup: Well I certainly like it!

I never really like the tactical look but when this one came up for sale on the exchange for a good price I had to give a PM2 a try. Turns out I love how it looks and I now understand what all the fuss is about over the PM2. Not sure how much I'll carry it due to the size but it sure is fun to play with!

I'm sanding the digital camo scales now. Its taking forever to do it by hand. I could do it faster with the dremel but I don't think it would turn out as good.

Ya they are way to thin. I do not recommend anyone to try this on their digital camouflage scales.
