Marshal Hardtack McCardle Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I have set of Taylor (uberti) smoke wagons with checkered grips. Would uberti cattleman grips fit on the smoke wagons ? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Yes, but the chance of getting any grip, whether aftermarket or Uberti, that fits perfectly will be low. If you try a Cattleman grip that was previously fitted to a gun it might fit a bit better than a brand new Cattleman grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Hardtack McCardle Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Should be close though, no? Not perfect fit but maybe lil tweaking ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Probably, though "close enough" is a subjective term. There may be some sharp edges here or there where the wood overlaps the steel. You can "roll over" those sharp edges with a rounded tool of some sort to take away some of the sharpness. I have a few guns with grips that don't fit perfectly but it's okay with me. Mostly I want the backstrap fit to be smooth. A little edge along the front strap or butt I don't mind so much. It is pretty easy to sand the grips to be a perfect fit but that will go through the grip's finish. I've done this to some grips and then just strip off the rest of the finish and restain and give them a hand-rubbed oil finish. Or, I think you can buy unfinished grips from VTI.
