I can get rivet type Sam Browne snaps at Tandy, do I need a specific setter/anvil to set them? Does anyone make a screw on Sam Browne snap?

GRUMPY,

Tandy does indeed have the SAM brown posts. i try to use them as much as possible, less concern coming off in my opinion. gives it a great look as well. i didn't have a setter for it and just used a heavy rawhide mallet to drive it home and worked great i thought, the screw backs seem to come loose a bit easier unless ya use lock tight or some clear nail polish that will still allow you to remove it ONLY when YOU want to.

Thanks kagekeeper. I was thinking about using the screw on type with some Loctite because it's going on something that will not see a lot of stress.

I'm glad i could help Grumpy...

.I'm still a newbie to all this, so what little i can offer to anyone is always a pleasure. just remember if u have never used the SAM brown b4, be sure to cut the small slit next to the hole
