Grips and frame contour

Stu · 02-04-2006, 10:23 AM

I've been trying to find a pair of shooter grade wood grips for my refinished 1915 DWM artillery. I've bought a couple of original pairs here and there but they just don't fit the contour of the frame.

Did the shape change subtly at some point, and if so what years / makes should I target ?

I'm really looking to do this at minimal cost so new Nil Grif etc are out and the generally available repro's never seem to fit around the sideplate.

Anyone out there who has a fine tune screw for the front site that they'd be prepared to part with would round out the list of things I need to get this gun back to spec !

Any help much appreciated.
