Didn't get much love in General Knife Discussion so figured I would post here. Pics of my Spec Bump, Tyrade, and Ram. Removed backspacers on the Tyrade and Bump in favor of standoffs.

On the Bump these metal spacers were inside the backspacer. The Tyrade I bought non threaded spacers from USA knifemaker. I really like standoffs over backspacers which was my main reason for this mod. Backspacers never seem to sit exactly flush. Only thing annoying is the tip of the torsion bars sticking out.
 
Nice! Looks pretty clean, except for the torsion bar end sticking out like you mentioned. But hey, at least your spec will be a little lighter, and easier to clean the lint out.
I saw your thread in the GD area, and it got me thinking about the Cold Steel Ak-47 that I just bought. I like the knife, but I'm not crazy about the plastic G-10 skull-cracker sticking out the back. Not gonna be bustin heads anytime soon with my knife.:eek: So I ordered a couple of non-threaded stand-offs. We'll see if that works.
 
Cool man, the ones I ordered were 3/16" in length which fit perfectly in my Tyrade. If I were to use them for the Spec Bump I would have had to file them down. Hope they fit your Cold Steel nice, idk the specs on it. Shouldn't be too much trouble to file em down though.
