I recently saw images of an early New Model 3 that had smooth walnut grips.
They appeared to be Factory fit but I haven't seen that before.
Can anyone comment?

I have a DA 44 Russian with smooth wood grips that have a matching number so they were available on blued guns anyway into the early 1880’s.

Hi There,


I've seen smooth wood grips on NM#3's before but I cannot come
up with an example right now. I do wonder how close the grips
from a old or new model Russian and whether they could be
adapted?


Cheers!

The smooth NM #3 wood stocks exist. I have an NOS pair.
