Will,
Yes, you need to remove the grip screw at the bottom of the right grip to lift off, carefully, the wooden grip.
If you see the "GS" stramping in the wood on the inside surface, that right grip is one made locally in Indonesia.
Removal of the left grip is a bit tricky...as one can break off the sculpted cutout of the wood around the bottom of the thumb safety lever.
To do it, remove the left grip screw and while pushing and holding down the magazine release buttom, lift the bottom of the left grip up enough and then slide it down along the grip strap...mostly parallel to the grip strap.
If you are too agreesive and jst lift the left grip up of the frame, you could break that little piece of wood along the bottom of the thumb safety lever.
If you take the left wooden grip off, let us know what stampings you might see along its interior surface...
