It’s been pretty temperature controlled but after many years I discovered that they warped. Also some discoloring going on.
Right now they’re clamped between two pieces of wood to hopefully restore their shape.

I have a set that were on the gun when I got it,but they had shrunk. I made a jig with two machine screws in grooves so I could store them under tension. I’ve found that heating them for a minute with a hair dryer as im putting them back on the gun makes them more cooperative.
