Anyone interested in using the new model Vaquero XR3 grips on the old model XR3 flat top frames?
I just had it done, and it is quite easy...
* The bottom grip hole is fine as is
* Need to shave a section out of the grip top to accept the old XR3 frame gusset.
That is all.. :)
I wanted this pair of stags to fit onto an old war horse .44 flat top I have..
Hence the work
I also had the black OM eagles removed from a pair of flat top grips and switched into the NM stags...
The first picture is of the NM Vaquero stags as I bought them..
NOT meaning to fake anything, just like the looks..
I am happy..
Cheers,

PS, if my fingers were not so old and feeble, I probably could have done it myself....so went to a professional and had them done for less than $50
