Storing Stocks (Grips)

flundertaker · Apr 13, 2025

How do y’all store extra sets of factory stocks to keep them from getting dinged up and not lose the screw? I’ve wrapped then in bubble wrap but that makes them tough to tell which pair they are with out unwrapping them. I’m thinking some sort of craft related case with adjustable partitions might be a good solution.

Tackle box?

I’ve looked at a few and the compartments aren’t large enough for N frame target stocks. You may fit some J frame stocks in them. It not the larger stocks.

I like to build things. A piece of 1/4" Masonite for the back, small sections cut up for the dividers, 1x6 pine for the frame and a piece of plexiglass with handles for the top. The back is covered with felt. Everything stained and varnished.

(Hard to get a pic. The glass reflected the camera and the light. Had to remove it for clarity)

I go to my local cigar store and buy the top-shelf, nice cedar cigar boxes for $2...They nearly give them away when they are empty. Perfect storage for grips, etc.

If I have factory box/case, I put them in there. If not, I put them in old clean socks, with a 3"x5" card describing what gun they're for on the outside (held on with rubber bands), and keep them in a bag. If I want one it's easy to find, and it might help my son when I cease to be. I also have 3"x5" cards inside of my holsters for the same reason.

I wrap them in a microfiber cloth and then store them in a larger box. The microfiber cloths can be purchased in bulk for really low prices.

I was recently sent a pair that I won at auction, and when I received them, they were shipped in a small “bubble wrap” type bag with small bubbles. It even had a sealable flap. I’m not sure if the seller made it or you can purchase them. You can actually see through them pretty well too. I thought the idea was great, but haven’t really looked into it yet myself.

I use a scrapbooking paper storage box.

I use 5x3x2 mailer boxes with a description label on the front and a stick it note in the box with price information. You can wrap the grips with tissue paper, bubble wrap, etc. if wanted and they stack great especially on a shelf in the safe.

I generally protect grips with baggies or bubble wrap, place them storage boxes according to manufacturer/frame size and keep them in tubs. I also re-use old grip boxes and blister packs.

Ziplock baggies and stick-on labels in Tupperware work for me...

I screw them together with a 38 special case as a separator and park them in a zip-loc bag. Never had any warp or discolor or anything.

What's the point of collecting grips if they sit in boxes where you can't see 'em? Just kidding of course, I've got plenty in boxes too. It's nice though to be able to easily see them whenever I want. This is an old Timex watch case that I repurposed. There are three sides, with three levels each, and of course room on top to store more.
