New Beavertail on my Rock
 
Here's some progress pics of the Ed Brown Memory Groove Beavertail I'm installing on my Rock. Still have alot of blending to do but, it already looks better than the drop-in did. Most of the blending will be on the bottom and I still have to even it out on top.

Nice job, Dave. It looks good to me.

Dave Waits 07-08-2011 09:45 PM

I still have to mate the frame and grip lines at the top-sides, even out the top, contour the thumb-safety, and blend in the entire bottom. Got that far and discovered I was out of both 600 and 1200 grit paper, cold-blued it to keep the rust off til I get to the Auto-Paint store to get the wet/dry.

Looks really nice! wish I had the guts to do that to my springer,I'm afraid I won't get the finish right:eek:

New pics, top half blended and contoured. Sorry, but the lighting isn't good. Take more tomorrow.

Hey Dave, What did you end up finishing the finish (I know that's a strange sentence) with? did you just blue it to death or coat it with something else?

GD2A 02-02-2014 07:39 PM

Nice grips! Are those lone star?

Dave Waits 02-02-2014 08:12 PM

Keystone, that's Oxpho-blue from Brownells.

GD2A, nope they were done by Larry Capatoni.
