SOLVED - need PM2 help

Also, trying to improve PM2 action. This is with loose pivot. Any specific order to go, any help, anyone who does this sort of thing as I had done with my last custom set? This guy lives in Finland, though, so a bit harder.

Having trouble popping Terotuf and Micarta RGT scales on a 91mm Tinker Deluxe and Ranger, any tips please? Should I use glue?
I don't know anything about those particular scales, but I used a small vise with flat jaws (and some padding....leather, I think) to press the "regular" scales onto the frame. There are a couple of videos about this subject, on YouTube, somewhere. No glue necessary.

Luckily got it eventually with my mini-vice. Now to figure out that PM2, it's quite hard.

I would guess that fiber reinforced plastic scales would be less likely to flex enough to snap into place. Swiss Bianco recommends gluing more rigid scales on.
