Hi!

I didn’ t think anyone still viewed this site… Anyway, I drilled them myself with the bits note in the article.

I went to the woodcopier.com stir but the only one that seemed to carry any wood was woodworkersupply.com.

Also I would like to make my grips thinner than standard. So I need different screws?

I’m looking at making a set of grip panels for my Kimber Tactical Custom II using teak wood from the deck of the USS North Carolina…

Maybe, it depends on where the problem is.

If the top counter-bore where the screw cap goes is too deep, I would go with the washer idea. Make sure the washer goes down around the stud. If it’s the stud hole that is too wide, try the wood putty. then re-drill it with the proper diameter drill indicated in the article.

I think they got one hole too deep–it moves slightly…they were expensive and I was dumb enough to buy them at a gun show…is there anyway to fix it?? a small washer, or rubbe washer? or shorten the threads on the gun??
Please any suggestions
Jana
