T8 for the Pivot and T10 for the handle screws. I've always wondered why ZT didn't make the pivot screw a T10 also.

Where'd that logo on the Ti come from? Looks very cool.

houtex, just thought I'd try your idea out...and looks like the hardware (screws, threaded shaft and standoffs- anodized bronze in my case) for the XM-18 does fit the 0551. Have to use all Hinderer parts per fastner as the 0551 has threaded standoffs- can't just swap out the standoffs.

My ZT 0551 with the new OD green scales.

Next to my old school Surefire M6

wow! I really regret not nabbing an 055X now. I hope these are offered for the 056X as well. By the way, I think a carbon fiber 0561 scale would be sweeeeeet.

I just ordered the blue/. green and i cant wait to see this on my 0551

Thanks Steve, it looks awesome!

Dark Impaler, yours is great too. . .

D.I. , those pics are freakin awesome! The ZT looks fantastic.

For the casual observer who doesn't have a stock 0551 to compare - here is mine, with the aforementioned BM 480-1 Shoki and it's CF scales:

That's a new plain Jane small Sebbie - in S35VN. Decent blade metals, top down: El Max, S35VN, & M390.

I personally did that on a RMI laser engraver. Just to give it a subtle change.

Man I wish I still had access to the laser engraver at my last job. I made some cool stuff with that thing.

Got my 0551 in today...ALONG WITH...my Hinderer scale in Blue Black.

Got three screws out and then I notice I don't have the proper size Torx wrench to remove the pivot screw (pivot needs to be adjusted anyway as this thing is waaaaay to tight) . BUMMER!!!!

What size Torx is the pivot screw? I guess I'm going to have to get one.

Thanks guys, like nick425 I have done some pretty sweet things on a laser engraver. They are badass!
