Restock of my GH straight grip

[B. Dudley]

I agree on the stock blank. A bit fancier than my original but not as nice as a few other G's that I have seen. I originally had another one set aside that had some more curl in it and with a bit of crotch figure in the one side, but I decided it was a bit too much for it to be "Correct".

Thanks for your advice on the checkering. That is something that I WILL pay close attention to when it comes time. I have found a few photos of GH straight grip guns for reference. They are not too common to come accross. It does not help that my checkering is completely gone.

I still have to confirm things like lines per inch and pointed or flat topped diamonds, but I have time.

Got the stock duplication done. I just used the pattern for my #2 frame trojan. I checked the inletting and fit against the original G stock and it was pretty darn close. So I figured that since the dimensions of the Trojan pattern were perfect for me, I would just use that one and save myself the time of setting up the original G stock on the duplicator. Plus the original stock was a bit short for my liking.

After it was done, I just removed the little bit on the bottom form the pistol grip and I was all set. The pictures show it after most of the machine lines were rasped out of the butt area. I put some alcohol on it to better show the color.

And since the my pattern had the proper curve to the back of it, all I will have to do is inlet for the spur at the top of the buttplate.
