I know this isn't the place, but if you still own the MPR it will be helpful.....the stop pin is hexagon shaped, so when you tighten it you can take all up and down play out of the knife(and make the lock engage further.....my detent has wore in nicely, though i have to admit its retention is a little over the top
I've carried a buck rush for 6 years and have none of these problems
but if the QC was bad enough that you put them on here, i guess they deserve it
I put careful thought into my knife selection.
I wanted to like the Buck, but even with a small amount of negative pressure on the blade the liner would begin to slide. At about 30 or so pounds, it would jump off the tang and the blade would close. No amount of tweaking would help.
Same with the MPR. I made some personal adjustments to the pivot and the detent, but my adjustments ended up making the knife ever harder to open. I thought I had a dud so I exchanged it for another MRP which did the same thing.
Imagine going to a Porsche dealership wanting to test drive a Cayman S. You go to open the door, but it won't budge. It's not locked, but the doorspring is holding the door shut. You look to the salesman and he says "Yeah, it does that. But if you take a toolkit and loosen the spring a bit it should open without trouble."
If that happened, I'd tell him to forget the test drive. I'd go across the street and buy a Lotus Exige instead.
