RC-4 Sheath question

[caseythepilot]

Hey folks. My first RAT just arrived today! I have the RC-4 and have tried to take the one screw out and move it up a hole, to make a tighter lock around the knife. The screw comes out, however, I can't seem to get the threaded piece (in which the screw goes in to) to come out. Seems like I'm just :jerkit: around! haha

Any words of wisdom?

use a screw driver to pop it out if its in there tight tap the driver with a hammer

I've tried with the screwdriver, but it just seems to be beating and scratching the heck outta the sheath and hardware... Oh well.

run the screw in a couple of turns then use it to push the post out a bit.
once that's started, you can take the screw back out and pry the post out with a small screwdriver or knife blade.
when putting the post in the new hole, it'll be real tight - just push hard or tap it with something solid, like the scales of your knife.

Perfect, thank you 1066vik! Worked like a champ.
I'm impressed by the quick response time on here, and stoked about my very first RAT. I'm trying to convince the wife to let my buy #2 soon! haha
