MXG Gear Clip Owners; A Quick Question

[mad german]

I recently bought a couple of their deep carry clips and when they arrived, they were shipped with about a dozen screws. There were 3 sizes (I think) in the packs.

The MXG Gear clips seemed to be the same thickness as the Spyderco ones, so I just reused the Spyderco screws.

Is this correct? Did you use the Spyderco oruginal screws when you installed your MXG Gear clips?

Thx!

Yeah, I used the originals, and I have used the short ones that come with them. I tried the long ones once on my Stretch and they are WAY to long, no workie.

No i used the screws mxg provided on a Delica4. The OEM spyderco screws weren't long enough and mxg provided 2 different length screws. I went with the shorter of the 2 which was slightly longer than spyderco OEM screws

It really depends on the knife more than on the clip (assuming the bent TI clips versus the machined one like the Southard). Normally, I check the grip length of the screws that I removed from the factory clip and compare them to the screws provided. Gnoleb, usually sends out a few short like the factory screws and a few longer ones. I usually end up going with the shorter screws. After the replacement clip is installed, I carefully open the blade of the knife and look at the inside of the scale to make sure the screw shank does not protrude to far out. If I am satisfied there is no issue, I carefully close the blade to make sure there is no contact with the screws. On the Domino, I reused the factory screws. If I remember correctly, the thread pitches were different and I did not want to risk cross threading.
