Walnut...... Again !
« on: July 02, 2017, 02:27:09 PM »
After replacing the plastic grips on my Beretta Model 92-FS with Walnut, I decided to do the same with my new Beretta Model 87 Target with the same. The pictures show both before and after. I think the Walnut gives a much richer appearance. And they feel good in the hand as well.

Both sets of the Walnut Beretta grips fit perfectly with the original screws. The counter bores for the screw heads were perfectly sized, and no Loctite was used on the grip screws at the factory. Swapping them out took only a couple of minutes.

Those grips sure did dress them up.  Did you add a little gold leaf to the lower one?  I know Midway USA has something like that....

Yeah, I hit the lettering with some Bonanza Gold. I've had pretty good luck with that stuff over the years. It's easy to work with, and it holds up well to oils and solvents.
