Thanks breavis. An inspiration to us all. One of these days when I get a better shop set-up...;-)

Breavis. ...all I can say is wow! That is super sweet dude. Hat is off to you sir.

Thanks breavis. An inspiration to us all. One of these days when I get a better shop set-up...;-)

If I showed you what I had "shop"wise you would be even more confident. I'm huddled in a corner with lawn equipment all underneath me.

I do gunsmithing as well so I just had to remind myself that is cheaper than these 2 and 3 thousand dollar sti, Nighthawk, and Caspians I build and service, so just go for it. The fear is what will screw you up, just get up that morning with your BIG boy pants on and say "Today INFI, you will be my bitch". Just go slow and remember take pictures.

That's good. I'm confident in my abilities, and love to tinker on these, and various other "self defense tools", motorcycle repair/maintenance, etc. Perhaps just too busy on other life projects at the moment. Thanks again for the G10 Tutorial...;-)

I'll check that OUT

I can't find the linen anymore, but the canvas stuff is called damagrip or something similar.

Really nice job... And not a bad stripper either!

[Jonathan T]

Job well done all around! The handles look great as does the coating removal. Thanks for sharing.

Great project and weel done Breavis! I'd bet it was more than just 4 hours, but if it really was just 4 hour job you got great skills man! I once reprofiled my CS ash grips and I know how satisfying it is to make it exact match to your grip. Nice!
Not that I agree with you on hating black

 

[breavis5694]

The stripping took 20 minutes, the rest of that hour was hand sanding.
Second hour was re profiling the grip slabs to be more like the original shape. Then an hour for the grips to be installed and properly placed then an hour to grind and finish polish.

Though I may not specify start and end time, 4 hours is just 4 hours. I'm not someone who would better my time because of what someone would think of me, it's just not that important.

Thanks for the compliments guys

 

[Gress]

Great job!
Post couple more pics for us to enjoy.

Can't right now... I'm dissecting an argonne assault I just stripped. This bad ass knife will fit my hand, like that douche bag on the men's warehouse commercial said, I guarantee it...

It's getting the same treatment with hand smoothed g10 and I'm clipping one of the knuckle struts off to facilitate grip... A thread on this guy is pending.
