Ted - grips

Hmmmm..grips in the oven..maybe strawed grips? Nah, it just wouldn't be wise. I personally have had an experience with a really nice old walnut grip, placed in a low heat oven to dry out the moisture. It warped it severely and permanently. I even tried to soak it and 'bend' it back into the proper shape. Soon I was looking at a two piece warped grip. Fortunately it was not an original grip to one of my pistols, but NEVER put a grip in the oven (unless you plan on a little BBQ with authentic walnut/Hoppes wood smoke flavoring). Now I have made myself hungry. Later...
