New stocks for 1917

[chiefdave]

My 1917 came with 30's style service stocks and was uncomfortable to shoot. Targets were an options but hid the military heritage. A set of postwar diamond Magna's made it comfortable to shoot but the fit at the butt was horrible. In May I ordered a set of prewar elk stags from Grashorn and they arrive a few days ago, problem solved.

Very nice. The "bark" pattern on them is just spectacular. Enjoy!

Nicely done, but I would expect nothing less from a Navy vet. Thanks for your service.

And I thank you for your service as well, Chief.

Magna stocks are good. Adding a grip adapter makes them better!

And Service stocks with an adapter work very well also.

That reminds me, it's about time for another game of musical grips for all my guns...I don't even get to see all my Smiths at once except a couple of times a year at gun shows...I'll have an opportunity at the Conroe show weekend after next, so maybe I'll choose some candidates for these strays I picked up......Ben

Same for me, made them nice and thick for my big hand.

So that's where they all went! You beat me on a couple by mere minutes or even seconds!

Nice looking combination.

I like Service and Magnas paired with grip adapters. Fits my hand well.
