I brought my 5 1/2" Stainless ROA to a local gun show in an effort to get some better looking, better fitting grips. Shockingly enough I succeeded. The stock grips were wood, not the usual white ivory for some reason.
The frame is marked XRN and the grip guy said that the grips should not have fit....go figure. He did some minor fitting and tweaking on site and I am very pleased with the result. The grips came with their own stainless screw and he had to shorten it a bit get the panels to tighten down.
As you can see, the grips use a blind screw so the right panel is perfectly smooth. Which is exactly what I wanted.
The two bullets are the BigLube 210gr and 150gr I shoot. I'm waiting for the new redesigned 210 to come out.
I'm going back to Remington Primers. I find Winchesters tend to jam up at least once per cylinder and I never noticed that with the Remingtons.
Eventually I'll send it to Lee's gunsmithing for one of their "Gunslinger" action jobs and pick up Kirst Cylinder. But right now I'm having too much fun shooing it as it is and I don't want to part with it for six weeks.
