Refinished grips

[Auggie Doggie]

I picked up a used set of Herrett's grips for an S&W K frame at a gun show a little while ago. They were a bit worn but in good shape. I didn't care for the colour so I decided to refinish them.

As purchased:

Sanded:

I prefer smooth grips on a revolver so removing the checkering was an easy decision.

Stained with a cherry wood stain from Lee Valley.

Finally six hand rubbed coats of Tru Oil.

I think these are going go on my model 18 once the oil is fully dry.

Looks great, TSA taped a Izzy mosin I was flying with and the finish I mean literally all over was peeling off, damn TSA tape and duct tape, I got a complaint and filed for compensation seeing it's a antique rifle fingers crossed

Forgot to add I'm refinishing the stock the metal all came off the top hand guard and the barrel band retainers broke

Nice! They look really good!

This^ They turned out great, but they’re going to really shine on the M18.

I'm not so sure about that! The 18 was an old trapper's gun. Carried a lot and shot little. It sports a bunch of honest wear, nicks and dings but it still shoots well. Pictures as soon as the oil is dry and set.

Wow! Looks great!

They look great on there. A little honest wear gives the gun a little character. Well done.

Awesome.

They are a lot more comfortable than the magna grips it came with. I'll be taking it for a test drive tomorrow evening.

Herrett Shooting Masters, I think. They make great stocks. - dan

I think they are actually Shooting Star grips.
