Hello , i've a TCSS graflex 2.0 kit and I wanted to upgrade it
I want to know , if I change the red button /glass eyes to have a saber more accurate , which button I must choose
so what's the difference bitween TGS red button/ glass eyes and TCSS red button glass eyes ?
which is the more accurate ? which has the best size and will fit better to my sleeve (I know I need a 10-32 but I'm afraid that in length one of the two is too long, so which one to choose?)



thank you and sorry for my english

I can't speak for the TCSS red button and glass eye but the TGS red button and glass eye are an improvement for sure. They are long and you need to cut them down if you are going to use them as blade retention screws. Here are mine with a bunch of other accurization mods:

Hey H0llyw00d ! Is your TGS Red Button a thumbscrew or a button? If it's a thumbscrew, does it have a spring under the red cap to simulate it being a button, or is it immobile?

It's a thumbscrew. My 2.0 is set up as ANH so activation is with the bubble strip. No spring under the button for activation.

If it has a threaded rod on the back then no, but it can be used for blade retention. The only replica with a spring is the “working” red button replica.

The TCSS Graflex is the 2.0. It's the same one sold by Parks Sabers and Korbanth.

Yeah, the site's wonky. Trying to fix it.

They have the same size but depending on if you are going to use them as blade retention screws you may have to cut them down.
