I picked up these N frame grips and they need to have the checkering re cut. Would anyone here on the forum like to tackle the job? If so, e mail me at [email protected]

Try member DWFAN. He restores grips and has a lot of good comments in various threads about his work. He might be able to help.

Gary, I agree that DW can make those look like new if he isn't covered up right now.

As soon as I get dug out of the snow, I'll send them up to DW.

Gary,

You won't regret it.... DW's work is pretty nice.... I actually sent him a pair worse than these if you can imagine.... and I think that they are the ones DW shows in this thread....

While he is a cantakerous old poop, DW's work is top notch.
