Rick, I had the grips off this weekend. I took some 0000 steel wool to her and gave her a good scrubbing, something she's not had in years from the look of it. Not badly pitted or anything, just a few spots....
The grips came off surprisingly easy. All I had to do was tap on the underside of the grip (through the mag well) with my finger a few times and they popped off. Now they seem a little loose....
The grips came off well, but I'm not too worried about them. They have the usual broken corner under the safety. You know the one. I've thought about getting some repro grips once I get Thor to work his magic. I'm going to bring it by the range tonight and shoot it. See how it works, if at all. It's IDPA/IPSC night, but I'm sure they'll let me butt in for a mag full. I can't shoot in the competition tonight as my thumb is still too tender to shoot with.
I saw the Artillery rig pictured on another thread that looks like it will be a lot of fun. I can see something like that in my next hunt.... :-) I'd love to be able to slap a buttstock on one and drop a few paper badguys....
