Installed Colt Medallions on a Nice Set of Wood Grips

**kobsw** · January 14th, 2018, 06:29 PM

What do you think? This is my Colt Government 380.

FYI, I used a half inch forstner bit(Removed most of the material), a dremel, sand paper and apoxie. The half inch bit got me close then I used a cone shaped aluminum oxide dremel bit both with a dremel and with my hand to make the fit perfect

Regards,

Nicely done,where did you get the medalions from?

TY....

I bought two sets of medallions from Amazon. One set was from AJAX and they were ok but the other set was from Numrich and they were very detailed so they're the ones I used.

Looks great! It really adds a lot to the overall look of the pistol.

Army Vet, yes a little 3m scotch weld but any would do. I didn't peen over the medallions but instead, I cut their stems in half and glued them in. It let me set their angle to the desired position.
