Browning HP Grip Help

Don't know what Hugh Clark could do with them, but I suspect he would make them look a WHOLE lot better and when you got them back you would be happy with the result. You might ask him if he is interested in giving it a go.

You can steam some of those dents out with a moist washcloth and an iron. I have done it many times on dented grips and stocks. It is slow and time consuming, but not difficult. The last couple of grips that I worked on, I used a clothes steamer that is designed to remove wrinkles from clothes. Worked great!!

If you want the thinest WOOD grips that I know about, and I own 2 pairs of them, then go to Brownell's and check out the Navidrex Wood Grips # 647-035-004 WB. It says that they have a palm swell, but neither pair of mine have one. They are unfinished as far as I can tell, but that is just fine with me. I finish them the way that I want them. They do NOT look like the original wood grips.....and they don't feel like them either.
