"loose" grips

[Pete Ebbink]

A really thin o-ring around the grip screw works really well. You place the o-ring beneath the wood grip and on top of the metal of the grip with the grip screw running through the o-ring.

Price of an o-ring is cheap if you do not own a hot glue gun.

Pete, I read your post the other day and as both my Dutch lugers, having seen a lot of service in their life times, had a loose grip. This morning I added an 'O' ring to each one and it is sorted the issue, they are nice and tight now.

Thanks for the top tip.

Stay safe

If they're tight now, they're tight. But the o-ring remedy doesn't address the clearance around the safety lever, as in my last post in this thread. Check that clearance, or you risk sending your left grip off to Jim Solomon in the future for restoration/repair of the chip!

I followed advice given here and using fine sandpaper at the point of interference with the safety lever made the clearance a little more to avoid the 'million dollar' chip.
