I took apart my buck 110 with S30V steel about a year ago and I am think about putting it back together with titanium liners and g-10 scales. Im thinking about riveting the the titanium liners, lock bar, and spring assembly with 1/8 brass. On top of the liners goes the orange g-10 with recesses drilled out to accommodate the rivet heads. THere arent gonna be any bolsters, just the g-10 running the entire length of the liners. I guess im keeping the traditional build method using rivets but modernizing the handle material...part past, part present!

Unfortunatly I lost the bushing for the blade pivot. With my vernier caliper the diameter of the pivot hole measures 5.5 millimeters, but I cant find any thing that will work!

I was also wondering if you guys think .04" thick titanium will handle the stress from the spring. If need be, i have enough titanium to double up on both liners.

Any suggestions would be greatly accepted! Sorry for the metric, this caliper is the most accurate one I have!

edit: the g-10 will most likely be 1/8" think

i think i made a mistake! I just found the shop talk area. Is it possible for a mod to move this there, or should I make another post on that section of the forums?
 
I don't think i can help you, but i cant wait to see your buck mod! titanium liners? orange G10? I CANT WAIT!
 
thanks for the encouragement. unfortunatly, I might not make the liners out of titanium...kinda expensive. Im also swamped at this point, so i dont even know when i can start this project!
