New PM2 FRN

[Cletus]

I used a factory second Maxamet blade to swap. Almost perfect fit but the blade was never centered, (the reason it was a factory second), so it's off to one side a slight amount. Function is perfect!

Was the blade from a G10 model?

Yep, a G10 PM2 Maxamet factory second. Perfect fit, except for the off center blade. That's the reason it was a factory second.

Also, I used OxphoBlue (Brownells) cold bluing on the blade. I don't recommend trying it, because it can be VERY tricky, and leave splotches on the metal that won't come off. I got lucky with this one.

Very nice, a Maxamet PM2 LW!

Love seeing people not afraid to tinker and create their own perfect example. Nicely done!

My PM2 LW in BD1N arrived today from DLT. All I can say is that this basically fixed every issue I had with the original PM2 - switched to a wire clip, improved the ergonomics slightly, reduced the weight, and fixed the annoying lanyard tube design. Action and lockup on mine is fantastic out of the box, and the finish they are doing on BD1N for this model is excellent, somewhere between a bead blast and a stonewash finish, as if it were just stonewashed with extra fine material. This is probably the best FRN Golden has ever put out in terms of feel in the hand. Couldn't be happier honestly, only complaint I could even come up with is that the edges of the FRN along the spine are maybe a little sharp, but I don't really notice it in practice. Maybe the new king of LW models for me; absolutely will be grabbing more of this model in different steels.

Totally agreed. These upgrades sold me and it is definitely nice. The inner scale edge is a little crisp but that's an easily fixed nit-pick.

Great pic and recon, thank you!

Just wanted to point out AWT already has PM2 LW scales designed and almost ready for sale: https://appliedweaponstech.com/t/spyder ... ort=newest

I'll be grabbing a set as soon as they become available!

These 15v releases move slower than a turtle full of molasses on a freezing day.

Gotta sell off a bunch of that BD1N first.

I'll purchase one on the coldest day.
