REB,


Please don't get rid of the original grips!!! If they are oil soaked, the oil can be removed and the checkering can be recut if in bad condition. Hugh is a magician at recutting the checkering and when he finishes with them, they look almost new again. You may want to contact Hugh about having this done as his work is superb. A friend of mine had Hugh recut the checkering on his and I thought they looked new again.


In the General Information Section, "Frequently Asked Questions", there is a guide to cleaning the grips of the oil. Just be aware that if heavily oiled soaked, Brownell's sells a compound which will safely removed all the oil from the grips and there is no problem with them becoming warped from excess water. Once they are clean, the recheckering will be great and you will have a spare set of grips.
