How To Replace thumb stud on Bugout

[Kostik]

The thumb stud fell off my Bugout, and amazingly I found both pieces in my pocket. What size Torx wrench do I need to reattach it? And do you just tighten it with a healthy amount of torque?

T6 I believe and yes, although a little blue loctite wouldn’t hurt either as I’m sure you wouldn’t want it coming loose again.

As King mentioned, use a good T-6 (2 if you have them, one on each side) and some purple or blue loctite. Be careful not to over torque it as its easy to do. Once applied, let it cure for 24 hours and you'll be good to go again.
