Cartridge Counter Grip Mod

Enough in one small sheet for the whole batch of cartridge counters!

Otherwise, as Doug suggested, cellulose acetate sheet. I've taken the liberty of requesting a sample from one of the sellers, so stay tuned.

Continuing my Gonzo Grip Mod, left grip has the slot milled to line up with slot in modified magazine. Mine won't have the numbers or the offset slot to read them, or the offset mag button extension. It'll just show rounds in the magazine.

Here's a mockup of the grip and magazine with a couple rounds inserted...And chamfering the slot...I don't know if 'real' cartridge counter grips had chamfered slots, but it looks sorta nice...

Flipping the grip over and milling a relief for the polycarbonate 'window'...And also milling four small cuts for glue to hold the window from popping out...

The grip alterations are complete. The magazine modification is complete. Now for the window.

Rough cutting a 7/16" piece of .060" polycarbonate; milling it down to 3/8"; and pressing it in place.

The finished gonzo grip counter on my artillery Luger. Greg Cote advertises this Mec-Gar magazine will hold eight rounds, but I think seven is more realistic.

I'll wait for Ithacadave to weigh in on what kind of glue/adhesive to use to hold the polycarbonate window in place. I don't want the adhesive to 'spread' or discolor the window, and since I have no experience with this material, I'll wait for more a experienced member to advise me.

Thank you all for your enthusiastic attention!
