OP-

So you talked to Hart, and they sent you nice new scales. But they sent you different material scales then the ones you paid for. That is the weird thing. You wanted and paid for micarta scales you should have gotten new micarta scales in replacement. My advice for your best fix is call hart and ask if you can get replacement micarta scales and send back the ebony or whatever.
Thank you. YES..That is exactly the issue at hand. I asked for a replacement set of scales just like the one that are obviously not right. They sent a set of Bocote scales. They're quite nice, but not the custom Micarta scales i paid for. Ok. The Blade fits perfectly into three different types of scales made by Hart. It doesn't fit in the one set of Micarta scales, those being the point of contention. I'm good here. I can make the "defective" scales work via extreme shimming. I guess they cannot or will not send me a set "exactly" like the ones that aren't right. OK..They did what they thought was correct. I'm good here. Maybe I'll learn to like Bocote.
