New CRK Owner: First Time

[five.]

I got around to cleaning my sebbie for the first time. It was a beautiful day today. I had to work for awhile, but when I got home, I headed outside and got everything taken apart:

After I had everything cleaned and lubed, I got it back together (sans the lanyard pin):

The only question I have now, it seems to me that every screw is specific to a certain pin. They are not interchangeable. I had one particular screw, I tried every pin before I found the one that would thread back up nice and tight. With the others it would leave a gap. You could keep spinning the screw, but it would not go in anymore. Has anyone else experienced this?

Oh yea! Wow at the difference a fresh coat of lube made. It's so smooth now. Very nice.

Am I the only one that loosens up the 2 handle screws a little bit to get the blade and washers in? I'm not too sure why this isn't recommended.

Nope, I do too. Just a tiny bit though, just enough to get the washers/bushing started.
