Default Thanks to MAG-NUM For The HOW-TO LESSON

Grips on early I-frames leave a lot to be desired, when it
comes to shooting. Great for CC, maybe, but not shooting.
And, while grip adaptors help a lot, there's just not much to
grab a-hold of.
I'm looking to re-grip these old warriors, with J- or I-frame
magnas. Same as on the Terriers. I can't really afford the
better examples out there, but there're some beat up sets
available, that work okay.
Back to the OP's thread....With the step-by-step example,
I'm re-finishing grips, to make them worthy of the guns they
are on. Over the past week-end, I did four sets. Not so hot as
to post pics; they would look pretty amateurish next to the
ones MAG-NUM did. His look really good. I need morepractice.
And thanks to those who suggested alternative finishes. The
only thing I'm lacking right now, is my 2000-grit wet-or-dry
sandpaper. I seem to have stored that with my Carbine mag,
which I haven't seen in a month. Two more sets to go this week.
