Default Model 14-5 - fitting Round butt Grips into a Square Frame?

Hello,

first post on this forum.

I have a model 14-5 (square frame) and was wondering if it would be possible to route-out a Round frame grip (for the square frame)?

I'm a lefty and it's hard to find great grips. Even harder to pass up on a deal. I have an oportunity to get a left hand Nill grip that's setup for a Round frame. I was going to route it out to fit (should be enough material) ?

It normally fits models: 10, 13, 15, 16, 17.....

here's a pic:

Thanks

Chuck

The short answer - maybe. If Nill uses the same stock blank for square and round butt stocks and simply changes the inletting it should work. The K square butt at the bottom is 1.75", you can ask the seller if there is room to spare...

I'd photograph the Mod 14 frame, with a ruler in the picture along the gun butt. Send to Nill, along with a picture of the Nill grips, and then ask if it were possible. Include any model numbers on the Nill grips. Good Luck.

Why go to all the trouble. Sell the ones you have and Just get a set of Ahrends.
They make a nice affordable retro target grip that is ambidextrous.
