Oh, my bad.  Well, I've actually never put new bolsters on.  I have however added a cigar band in the middle of the liner, which is pretty much like adding a bolster and I drilled and pinned those.  an alternate would be to use an epoxy to keep it steady during the build.  The scales and pivot pins "should" prevent the bolsters from moving upon completion.

That's a good idea Andy.  I hadn't thought of epoxy.  For a while, I was leaning toward sweating them on with solder, you know, like sweating copper water pipe.  I have sweated brass tubbing before, and NS is just white brass I guess.  But epoxy would be a lot less involved.  It's something to think about, and I do value your input Andy. 

I have an original Remington bullet knife, model 1253, that needs repair.  It is a single blade lockback, but the blade does not lock in the open position.  Any suggestions as to a competent repair shop that could fix it?
