That makes a lot of sense. I didn't even realize they did it by hand. I wonder what kind of a tool they used. Surely not a chisel and carve each groove?
I helped by BIL buy a BYF 41 a couple of weeks ago and since there was some square edges showing I thought the grips might be repros. Even though they had a lot of age. We were happily surprised they were numbered to the gun when he disassembled it after picking it up yesterday.
My only real set of grips I have literally go all the way to the edge.
Thanks for your post.
