So I was looking into getting some replacement scales or spacers for my Ontario RAT-1A, since I had seen some great stuff like glow/micarta/etc... for the RAT1, but I cannot seem to find any readily available.
So that left me wondering if the scales for the RAT1 could be modified easily to fit onto the RAT-1A without losing the safety or spring or anything. I am pretty certain that the spacers would be fine, but I really don't know either as I have yet to disassemble the RAT-1A, or compare the spacer on the assisted to the original (I do doubt they are different however)
Why so much support for the non-assisted version when the same manufacturer could easily increase their profits by making the same parts with slight changes, possibly even just a single hole?
Anybody have any experience putting new scales on a RAT-1A or modifying RAT-1 scales for the RAT-1A ?
