Thanks for your help, I should be able to find something that will work and get to work finishing this gun up. I'm getting excited since the gun's shaping up. I do love the polished shininess of it

Are the wood grips out of the picture?

I like the angle of the frame and always wonder what something like the old SP wood grips would feel like.

I am still working on the wood grips. They're still in the works but I haven't done much on them in the past month. I think I may get to them this weekend.

Found some time to work on the grips today. Here's a couple of pictures of the work and the grips.

Roughing the grips in with some rasp work

Where they stand now--They're sanded but only roughly. I'm waiting to do the final sanding until I do a tiny bit more reshaping.

The grips are a bit thicker than the stock grips which is really nice since the stock ones are skinny. I have larger hands so the grips feel great. They make the gun easier and more comfortable to handle.

I think they look pretty good so far. I'm looking forward to finishing them!

THOSE grips, Dark red stain, Satin black powdercoat. Mmmmmmm

I've decided that I'm definitely satin powder coating it now. Not sure the stain color for the grips yet. Sadly this project is going to go on hiatus for a little while since I'm back at college. No updates for awhile but when I get back I'll powdercoat everything and reassemble. Then I'll stain and finish the grips to complete the gun. So sorry I couldn't have it finished quickly and posted but this project will get finished in the next few months.
