Greetings. I'm looking for a little help or information.

I purchased a Midnight Sun Industries scale back in April and absolutely love it. The fit and finish are top notch, and I really like the weight and creativity of Curtis’s work.

His books have been closed over the summer, and his site had mentioned reopening around July, but so far I haven’t seen any availability. I also reached out via email but unfortunately haven’t heard back.

Does anyone know if Curtis has a new site, is still taking orders somewhere, or has mentioned when his books might reopen?

Alternatively, does anyone know of another maker doing XM-24 scales of similar quality? I already have a few factory Hinderer Ti scales, but to me they just don’t have quite the same weight, uniqueness, or creativity as the MSI scales.

Appreciate any leads. Thanks!

I’m just starting my Hinderer collection and I’m blown away by the quality and craftsmanship. I bought the Eklipse skinny slicer first and fell in love. Tracked down a XM-18 Bowie with bead blasted green ti next. I noticed on it as I’m breaking it in that the lock bar stabilizer insert is rattling when the blade isn’t putting pressure on it. I assume that this isn’t normal but I wanted to ask you guys what your thoughts are. I went through all of my tools and of course I don’t have a.050 wrench that I need so I’ve got one on order. Anyway, thanks guys and have a great day!
