1900 miss-match what do I have?

[Randall_G]

So I have an extra set of P08 aftermarket grips I would be willing to sacrifice to a 1906 grip safety conversion gone wrong.

I think I can easily manage creating a functional and reasonably aesthetic opening for the grip safety, red circle labeled "1."

I'm thinking the area within the yellow rectangle ("2") will be more challenging. In particular considering the grip must be modified to accommodate the full length of the grip safety. As I see it:

1. The entire area roughly within the yellow rectangle needs to be excavated.

2. A tab must remain to match the opening in the 1906 grip frame, roughly the area in the green rectangle ("3"):
a. If the tab is too large, the grip will not fit within the 1906
frame.
b. If the tab is too small, the grip may be loose (?).

I suspect this might not be too hard for someone who works with wood frequently. That's not the case for me, so not certain if I'm going to proceed with the project.
