Default Jim Solomen To The Rescue~

Idle hand can get you in trouble! Bored I tried removing the hundred year old well seasoned matching grips~ Removed the mage and used my finger inside to carefully press up! Well idle hands caused the chip. I sent them too him Solomen repaired and did 'light refreshing and raising of points. All for under thirty dollars. Next time and I sure i'll screw up, My hero will be there! And Debby will of course yell! Eric

I guess that answers your question on whether wood grips shrink...

I press up from the inside and down from the outside to keep the grip under control.
