Has anyone thought about replacing the para3 lanyard tube with a solid plug- then drilling and tapping it to accept the single screw wire clip as per the lightweight? Wouldn’t this solve the common voiced issues with the design?
Are they commercially available? I see plenty of replacement ‘tubes’
Para 3 lanyard hole plug?

Re: Para 3 lanyard hole plug?
I'm waiting for the DLC lightweight. Someone needs to do one in 20CV. I tried really hard to live with the g10 version. I even tried both of the current "best" deep clips and just don't like those as much as the stock clips. When I wear it with the stock clip it always wants to flop out of my pocket because too much weight is sticking out of the my pocket.bigboned wrote: ↑Tue Nov 19, 2019 1:30 pmI got the LW and put a cruwear blade in but still wish the g10 ones would be done betterkoenigsegg wrote: ↑Tue Nov 19, 2019 12:42 pmWow that's a lot of work, I wish they would cqi this.

Re: Para 3 lanyard hole plug?
i mocked this up to try 'prove the concept' - works nicely although i just used a bolt thru the hole
