I never saw that as an option. Mine is all black. I like the looks of that! |

Finished the other side, they feel a bit slick, after a trip to the range we'll see if I need to learn how to do checkering  Then to decide what sort of finish to put on them.

 great job and looks awesome. I Plan doing a set of grips for myself just for uniqueness sometime in the future. |

They call it the stainless model, but it's very magnetic, so it might just be a silver finish of some sort. That slide does look like it is coated somehow. However, fwiw, stainless steel can be magnetic. Delliot, I see you're running that on a drill press. What's your thoughts on the way attachment? Have never used one, but thought about picking one up for some small home projects. |

In general I like it, but my drill press was never really designed to work as a mill, so it really doesn't like it when you take big bites. The bearings weren't designed for a lateral load, so it's not really surprising. The X-Y axis is nice, and it'd be even better with a Z stage, but the price for that jumps very quickly. This particular stage is a bit sloppy (something we had to allow for when working on Brian's grips), but the gibs are adjustable, I have taken it apart once to clean out all the tracks & lube the mating surfaces, but I might take it apart & add UHMW tape to them so I can tighten up the action to remove a bunch of the slop. |
