Source for liner bushing for an XM-18.

[Gavin S.]

I found that I am missing a liner bushing, not sure what is actually called but it is the little washer-like thing that goes between the blade and the liner of the knife at the pivot. Is there some place to purchase something like this or are they made specifically for the knife maker? I emailed Rick Hinderer and haven't heard back so I'm try to deal with it myself. Thanks for any info you guys might be able to provide.

I doubt you can find them elsewhere. I'd email Rob Orlando also. But FYI, I thought I saw a posting from Rob that they will be out of the shop Sept 2 - 7. That's probably the reason why you haven't gotten a reply back.

Appreciate the reply. I just got an Armorer Kit for my XM-18 and took it apart and found that I had 2 liners on one side. I guess the previous owner had the knife apart at some point. The good news is that I put it back as it should have been in the first place and now my blade is centered. Hooray. That always bothered me.
