Thread: How to: Washerless Pins

Cool! I often wondered about how they did pins like that. I thought people just epoxied them. Only thing is if you ever need to take the razor out of the scales or do something like that, the pin won't be so easy to remove huh? Might have to just snap the scales off? Either way, it's a small price to pay especially when you won't need to do it anytime soon after rescaling I'm sure.

to remove them you can simply drill them out with the 1/16th drill bit you used for the pilot hole. This will weaken it enough to pop the pin out. But you are right they aren't as easy to remove as the washer ones where you can just dremel off the washer end.

Is that microscales I see before me, or is it a 20/8 blade?

Seriously though... super job.

Well done well done!

Good lateral thinkin.
