Well I have had this Norinco for quite some time. I have always hated the factory grips. I had a set of Hogue 1911 grips laying around and decided I was going to make them work some way or another. I used a 9/64 drill bit and a 8FN tap. I used some 8/32 FN screws to hold them in place. I had to shorten the grips a little and cut them down near the slide stop. Let me know what you think.







Now on to the Mauser project. I just got this a couple of days ago. I decided a while back that I wanted to build a neat little mauser project. It was already a little sporterized but I decided to take it a little further. I dont wanna hear any of that you ruined the gun crap. I did what I wanted to do. I shortened the barrel 3". I polished the bolt and some of the internals. I sanded down and restained the stock. I have not cleared it yet. Tru oil hasnt come in. I took off the rear sight post completely. I painted the barrel with gloss black high temp paint. Once my duracoat kit comes in I will be working on that. It has a monte carlo stock on it. Let me know what you think.
