You already have some. Simply take them out of the black piece that is there and use just them.

The black backspacers are solid aluminum I believe. I've replaced them with standoffs I've gotten from knifekits after I've ground them down to the right width. Also upgraded the body screws from T6 to T9.

still looking, there were none in the middle spacer.

 

[autoknives23]

Thank you i will check them out. and yes the middle spacer i believe is aluminum!

 

[autoknives23]

Do you remember what one you purchased im seeing a couple different standoffs on there website!

I read in an older thread that this size fits the military perfectly:

USAknifemaker has the same size but without the machined lines. I have some coming in a couple days. If no one else chimes in about them I'll report how they fit.

 

[autoknives23]

Thank you so much!!

This. I bought these a couple months ago. Very easy installation and very good fit. Just remember to order 2.

In newer Militarys the black piece is anodized aluminium with no standoffs. Used to do just like you Steve, but alas no longer...

I think you have the option to use USPS for around $5-$8.

 

[autoknives23]

Nope the only option is 14 bucks fedex ughh

Shipping is a little steep, but it's a good excuse to order some more of their cool stuff!

These should work well too:

They aren't as fancy, but they'll match the stop pin better and shipping is much more reasonable.

Do you leave the factory blade stop or use the aftermarket stand off for that too? I'm interested, but the $14 for shipping is killing me too!

Hmm. Haven't seen any of those I guess. Well in that case the only alternative is to measure the thickness of the one you have with a digital caliper and find stand off spacers at a supplier within tolerance for working with that height.

The newer Millie's standoff actually insert through the steel liner touching the g10, for the blade stop that is. I wonder if the steel liner by the backspacer has a hole cut out for it as well?

Blade stop stays.

You should just keep the blade stop. It presses into the liners and then is held still by the two screws. I bought the standoffs that were linked, they're a direct fit. I don't remember if i paid that much in shipping, i know i ordered some buckles for paracord bracelets as well with the order.
