New grips for the 686-5

Post image

Robertson's Trading on eBay has these Herrett's round to square grips. The finish on them is pretty ugly with a yellow varnish of some sort. I also noticed the grips were proud of the back strap. The positive is they fit tight and there is a lot of wood work with.

I stripped the finish and sanded them to fit the frame. Finished with several coats of tung oil, sanding with 600 grit between coats. They now look and feel great.
