What's the thickness difference between standard grips and mag grips? My CGFBM is a hair under an inch thick, on the front end by the talon hole. Does that make them mags or standard? Thanks,,,:)

I could be wrong --- but I'm pretty sure that the standard scales are flat and consistent --- while the magnum handles have peaked and valleys.
 
Mags ~3/8" ea
Std ~1/4" ea

1" would be mags .25 + .375 + .375 :)
 
Oh, and mags have more cleavage. :eek:

Even some of the standard scales have peaks and valleys, the peaks are just lower, and the valleys more shallow than mags. The snakeskin seem to be a bit flatter than then black canvas that I have. There's a lot of variations in all areas of older Busses, that's part of what makes it fun.

Which are the handshaped? The top?

My CG FBM has a similar profile to the top blade.

The top is the mags, but hand shaping thins them down a bit compared to machined.
