I don't many people here do anything to grips that are in good shape. Most grip refitting is done to grips that have already been ruined/used by someone else. The pair I show above was half way stripped by the time I got them. I have other presentation grips where someone wanted to turn them into finger grove grips. Most of the people that messed with the grips did some a couple of decades ago when rubbers were in. We renown the stuff that is found in the junk boxes at gun shops with plenty of wear.
