S&W Wood Grips 686-6

[gremlock686]

Just got these wood grips in today from Smith & Wesson website in the mail today, are they suppose to fit like this in the back with that space? Just curious.

Your gun has a round butt frame. The stocks are for a square butt frame.
You will need either "conversion" stocks to make it a square butt (w/o the gap) or true round butt ones.
If you cannot return the stocks, just sell 'em on the parts and accessories for sale forum.

Looks like square butt grips and a round butt gun

Those are square butt stocks. Your gun is a round butt. You need either round butt stocks or round-to-square conversion stocks.

 

[gremlock686]

ok, so I have wrong ones!

Unfortunate that you got the wrong grips but they sure do look nice.

If I were to change them out to the round butt, they would not look as square like these, it would come in cause of the butt right? Could I still keep these with out hurting anything?

I doubt those would be comfortable to shoot with like that, not to mention it looks bad. You should exchange them for round-to-square conversion grips if you want a square stock.

Ok, thanks I will exchange them for round to square conversion grips, that is what I want thanks.

You'll have to send them back for a refund because at this time S&W doesn't offer a round to square conversion grip for the K/L frame .

Ok thanks, looks like I will be sending back to Smith & putting on back the stock grips, Thanks.

S&W never made round butt grips in the shape of a square butt target style. There are rubber ones by hogue and pachmayr that do that, maybe some aftermarket wood ones too, but not from S&W which is unfortunate.

Round butt on a big N frame is awful and serves no purpose. No one is trying to conceal a big N frame.

Nice grips...bummer you have to send them back. I put my order in for the round butt and it took two weeks before they shipped. S&W said they had just finished doing inventory and they were behind in shipping orders out. But once they did I had them in two days from Mass.

Wood Grips 686-6

I now have my new grips, the right ones for my frame now, I'm so happy now, what you guys think?

 

[southernpride]

Those look nice,I've been looking for a set like that for my 686.Did you get those from Smith & Wesson?

 

[markeb]

Now that looks real good. Love the 686.

 

[gremlock686]

The 1st set I did and they were the wrong ones for these new 686's, If you got the roundbutt I got these from Engineered Accessories, just google them.

Looks much better,
One other option if u have the tools and a small piece of wood you can make a wood filler plug to fill the hole then paint or stain it to match the frame of grips.
Im pretty sure a member here makes them and has a few for sale.

If I not mistaken I believe the grips you bought from Engineered Accessories were made by Altamont grips.I think they are the company thats making grips from S&W now.

Appears so. I think it's pretty weak that they charge $15 to put the medalions in them.
