Loose Grips Sink Ships

Maybe it was "Loose Lips Sink Ships!"

Anyway, I have found a way to make Luger grips snug without the worry of overtightening.

Take a Luger grip screw to your local hardware store - go to the faucet gasket section. Find the little black o-rings. Locate the one that fits best around the screw threads and buy them 10-25 cents each) Place the o-rings around the threads of the screws. As you tighten the screws - the o-rings expand under the face of the screw and take up the excess space between the screw head and grip making it snug and providing an elastic cushion to boot. I believe these black rubber type o-rings are actually made from polyeurothene (sp?) or some other modern synthetic rubber.

Other solutions I considered such as placing material between the grip and frame risked cracking the grip if uneven. mm
