Pin size
Are most pin holes in the blade 1/16" or do they vary with maker,are many larger than 1/8" or do they rust out over time even in good loking razors?

The pin holes in the blade usually seem to be around 2/32". Though some are just a tad more than 1/16" and some are around 3/32" as well.

I was thinking orf replacing the pins with these so it would be easy to service the blade pivot and clean . The barrels are 1/8" What do you think?

Doesn't hurt to try.I am just worried about how thick you'll have to make your scales to accomodate this rig.

I was planning on grinding down the barrel to fit scale thickness once fit to the blade. Scales would be linned with brass or nickel steel .020 with wood attached to linner.

You can have everything, and still not have enough.
I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

Good point. Razors are on average about 9mm thick and that includes both scales and the tang and that's assuming you want the screw heads to stick all the way out.

I was assuming the barrels were threaded all the way thru, The lenght of the screws appear to be 3/16" and could certainly be ground own a little. But they are kinda pricey so I may have to rethink.
JB you through me trying to translate, as it made no since then I got it. Though I'm old enough to go cammando.

Contact Robert Williams (papa bull) from this forum. I know he has started using these for his razors. I also recall hearing there they are tricky to use....perhaps, because you have to shorten the barrel so much, as was mentioned. The threading 'does' go all the way through, however, what is between the scales is not very much for two torque screws to grab onto...
I guess, just talk it over with Robert. He's used them for this purpose.
