TwinOaks Report post Posted January 8, 2009 That looks a lot like part of a Kevin King wallet, and if so, he custom makes his. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustWakinUp Report post 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.
