Field adjustable?
It is now.
With the new scales on, the pivot screw stands slightly proud.
That in combination with the decorative design of the pivot/screw; allows me to make field adjustments to the pivot with no tools necessary.
It's like a tri-winged, wing nut.
This effect is much less evident with the factory scales or my LSCF scales.
Yet, none the less, it is very true.
The pivot is totally field adjustable with no tools necessary.
When I discovered it this morning it was like the Reese's commercial; "hey you got peanut butter in my chocolate, hey you got chocolate in my peanut butter".
I don't know if BM designed the pivot to be used in such a way (field adjustable).
Because it really doesn't work with the factory scales, because of the counter-bore it sits in.
However, take the counter-bore away and it works like a dream.
Just loosen or tighten with one thumb by pressing down on the screw head using the meat of your thumb to turn.
A tighter snug is wanted?
Index two of the three high points on the pivot screw with your two thumbs tips and just turn.
Just like you were tightening the hatch on a submarine.
This is absolutely perfect.....total serendipity.
Go figure?!
