good going Reverend, I'm glued! That's the older model RD6, I have an older RD7 but satin. Yours is gonna look shweeeet!

I was battoning the other day with it, 5" log and was whacking around the front of the G-10 scales and after, I noticed they had shifted some, I was surprised (but no damage or even a scratch!). But like you said their easy to remove or loosen.
