Just acquired this gunstock lockback (it's Josh's fault - he's an enabler, made me do it! :mrgreen: ). Perfect size, came with a leather strap attached to the bail. Think I just found my new back pocket EDC. ::tu:: Not sure but the master may be just a tad short? If so its been nicely re-shaped.

Thanks Justin. I cleaned it up a little, put a good edge on it (really hard steel), and dropped it into my back pocket. Been carrying it just 3 days now but have to say so far it's perfect!

Congrats Justin, looks like a nice one. ::tu:: Thanks for posting the pic looking down into the blade well. Makes me think the blade on mine may not be short after all (mine looks like that too).

Alright Junie, fess up. What's your method for getting out the wobble? Inquiring minds want to know.

Don't know JuneBug's technique, but here's one that works. Free of charge.

Oil the blade joints.

Clamp the bolsters between two soft pieces of wood in a bench vise.

Tighten and check, tighten and check, in small steps until you are pleased with the results, i.e. no blade wobble, but still relatively easy to open and close.

You will notice the blade pin is now a bit "proud" of the bolster, i.e. it sticks out.

Sand it down flush with the bolsters again and polish the bolsters back to a shine with a rag wheel and Semi-Chrome or Flitz metal polish.

This technique is not valid if you are a purist collector of vintage knives, but it will correct a blade wobble problem.

:lol: ....i was joking......
i did tell ,wade for free..........
in no way ,shape,or form DID I CHARGE HIM MONEY.


THIS IS WHAT I TELL PEOPLE....FOR "FREE"

HEY WHOEVER YOU ARE!!!!!!!
HOPE ALL IS WELL YER WAY,BRO!!!

NO TRICK REALLY...HEHEHEH

hey DELETED.....
awesome!!!!!!.....hope ya like it!.....

with blade open.......... brass hammer..............solid anvil type base....
tap pivot pin 2-3 times and flip.......repeat with HARD taps 2-3 each side till
pin tightens bolsters in a tad to take slack out ,and no more wiggle.
GO SLOW....2-3 TAPS A SIDE!.....after a tap errr 2, you will see pin in bolster(sometimes hard to see)
make sure bottom side against anvil = pin resting on anvil.

go slow,,,,keep flippin........easy cheesy,bro
keep checkin blade by open and closeing and checkin wobble as ya go.

if any marks on bolster after = 0000 steel wool then a lil mothers metal polish..........done :)
