MPS insert style 12

The itty-bitty screws were tough for my clumsy fingers. I ended putting it together twice because the d-ring doesn't fit through the opening in the pommel. Working down inside the pommel was even more fiddly, but I'm stubborn and it really wasn't that hard, just frustrating when you're clumsy. Once it's together and installed, I love it! It being able to spin under the snap-ring is an excellent feature.

Out of the box I noticed this was brighter and shinier than the pictures make it seem. Assembly was a snap - two screws into bolts. Then I dropped it in to Pommel 5. I chose to secure it with the MPS Clip, I don't know if glue or an O-ring would hold securely enough. The click that it makes when using the saber isn't what I would consider loud, not even moderate. If the slight amount of clicking is an issue I think plastic dip such as used on tool handles would look nice and silence it. When I hung it from my belt it was vertical, I did not see an issue with it protruding at an angle. This made an otherwise flat, boring (and useless) pommel into something interesting with a function.
