Without drilling out the Russian grip, where you going to get the tangs from? |
That's what I've been saying, Gary....it would be NICE if the manufacturer thought like armorers and made the nose-to-nut-shelf distance consistent through the range of grips and sizes.....but that's too much to expect sometimes. if they DID there wouldn't be an issue.

I build every weapon as if they are going to stay together using an inside hex nut. If there is a doubt in my mind (like a very young fencer) I will use an outside hex and take the tang length to the very end of the grip without cutting their hands. Others, not happening. I'm going to cut to fit, reassemble it and carry on.
