Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted January 8, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted January 8, 2009 That looks a lot like part of a Kevin King wallet, and if so, he custom makes his. Quote
Members Syd Posted January 8, 2009 Author Members Report Posted January 8, 2009 I have also seen these snap and they dont have a conversion fitted,but the seller wouldnt say where he got them,thanks for your quick replies and help,someone must have a secret stash lol. I wonder where Kevin buys them to convert them his way ? Cheers Syd Quote

Members JustWakinUp Posted January 12, 2009 Members Report Posted January 12, 2009 You can pretty much purchase any screwback concho and turn it into a snap cap with the use of an 3/16" long 8/32 screw. Here is an example of how I use them. This was a skull & crossbones screwback concho. In this photo you can see the screw burried in the snap. Minor modification to the screw was done using a dremmel to take away a little excess metal that was causing the snap to not close properly but it works like a champ now with a little bit of thread lock it's there permanantly.
