You know, those screws almost kept me from getting a K2 since I equated 
"sticking-out" screws with somebody's homebrew work.  Now, as an aside, 
I didn't doubt the performance of the K2, I know screws aren't going to 
affect how it performs, but it just seemed sorta messy.

Well, I figured, darn the screws and full speed ahead!  As a result, I 
have no. 01299 modified (but for the KPA-100) to the hilt and absolutely 
*love* the way it performs.  Just shows to go ya, you shouldn't judge a 
book by its cover.  Besides, the screws sticking out like that, well, it 
sorta grows on you!
