Micarta sizing-quick question

[SpookyPistolero]

Are the factory micarta slabs currently available the *exact* same dimensions as the current grivory scales? Or are they different, or are they the size of the Camillus-era scales?

Mine were slightly oversized, by like a 1/32". I think it so you can sand them smoother if you want, or rougher, without causing them undersizing them.

don't forget too, the new KaBar Grivory is a LITTLE bit slimmer as well compared to the old Camillus Grivory.

Exactly! I like the newer, slimmer ones (a bit ironically). I didn't want to get micarta if they were too much thicker. I don't mind a little sanding, of course.

They fit fine on the 7 when I had it. I tried them on for size.

What I love about micarta is the ability to customize it for your own fit.

I ordered them for both my Gen. 2 BK2, and my Cami. BK7...both sets fit like a glove...

I have a question. The aftermarket micarta scales are contoured the same as the Grivory scales, right? I don't mind the grivory, and think the contouring is one of the best aspects.. They look like they are on, in the pics i've seen.

Yup. Becker contours through and through. Moose
