Re: ANH Hero DL-44 Discussion
For the Denix, you have to cut out the cross brace where the screw hole is on the grip frame. Then you can tighten down the wood grips. Use an x-acto knife to trace around the real wood grips to score the metal and get a rough idea where to remove material to reduce the Denix frame in size to the real grip size. Then hopefully you have a sanding belt or something to help you get started... I always finish them by hand with a rasp and some files. Slow but true. You'll also have to remove some of the wood step on the inside of the grips. Though, compared to shaping metal, that's easy. I've fitted wood grips to a Denix about 8 times. Though I still have a couple Denix guns around with the oversized plastic grips.
I've never tried to fit real grips to an MGC. I might have to for my Han A New Hope pistol redux.
