Battle grips project

[Rainmaker]

So you just don't like Jonnydread? It's ok...I heard he smells like cooked cabbage mixed with a hint of salmon patties.

Mmmm, now I'm hungry...

BigRed : Yeah, you're right. The grip is a little too beefy in several spots. When I get some time, I'm going to thin the whole profile down a bit.

Just checking-in to see, if there been any progress on the Sheridan or Nelspot versions?

[Rainmaker]

Carp! Thanks for bumping this. I haven't really done anything else since the last update. But I need to pull it back out and make some tweaks. Basically done on the PGP frame version, but the fit is a little tight.

For the Nelson version, I basically just need to bite the bullet and buy a 007, or at least a grip frame. Having the ability to test fit makes me much more motivated (oooh, check out that alliteration!).

Get on it already! LOL

Carp turned me onto this thread. The Sheridan frames with UMB or wire stock mounting plates require a wider grip to go around the plates. I'll be watching this thread to see if the grips might work.

Do you have a picture?

Think metal shims...

Thanks for the hookup Carp! Yeah, they are (I think) .075" thick or so. I'll measure when I dig mine out.

Curse you and your timely reminders! I was just contemplating what I need to work on next.

I think I'll need to pick up a 007 grip frame next.

[Rainmaker]

Alright, just nabbed a 007 grip frame from Bacci for a song.

[XEMON]

Let me know if you need a sheridan frame ... I might have one laying around ...

[Rainmaker]

FINALLY got the grip frame in the mail.

[Carp]

Well that little gem is move-in-ready!😂

[Rainmaker]

The 12ie cavity is starting to take shape.

[Nish]

Awesome!

I went ahead and printed the whole left grip (grey), so I could check the fit, and also see how the seem lines up with the original battlegrip right side (black). It's surprisingly close! I need to tweak a few spots and maybe widen the drop-in hole a little. I think I'll also re-profile the finger grooves a bit.
