Native Clip

[J Smith]

I think there is a problem with the barrel bolts on the native.I lost my clip a few weeks ago and Mike sent me a new one.When I Tried TO Put IT On The Bolt Was TO Short TO GO Through THE Handle.So I called him about it and left a measage.Got the new one in the mail today and it is still to short.I will give him another call.They may have gotten in a bad batch.

Got in touch with Mike today. He said they had some mixed up and he would look into it himself and send me the right one.

When I got my Native, the barrel bolt came loose, but I was able to tighten it with two nickels, but your problem sounds different than the problem I had with mine.

Yes it is differant.When mine came loose I lost the clip and 1/2 the bolt so I needed both.Thanks for the nickel idea I have been trying to think of a way to get the bolt real tight screw drivers don't seem to work well.Does anyone know of a tool that is made for them?

There is a type of screwdriver that has a rounded head and is used mostly for guns and some rifle scopes, I don't know if there is a wide variety of sizes, but you could check at any sporting goods shop that deals mainly with firearms. Another tool is the Leupold Scopesmithing tool, it has a multitude of heads from torx to flathead to phillips.
I haven't found one yet, but I will.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

J Smith,

I also used a coin to change the Native SS clip to the other side. Haven't had a problem with it since I got it. If you worry about &quot;harming&quot; the steel with this method, put some masking tape or plain transparent tape on the coin to screw the clip on tight.

Hope this helps. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
