The popular Browning Buckmark 22 autoloader uses these
checkered, factory-style grips with a suggestion of a thumb
rest. There is some relief
work to be done with a Moto-tool on the back of the grips,
which you can do by marking high points with a Magic Marker
and pressing the grips against the gun. This transfers a
mark where something presses against the grip back, showing
you where to route out a bit of material with a rotary bur.
It is shallow, not difficult to do at all, and of course it
does not show so you need not be an artist!
The general dimensions of this grip are:
- Height, measured at 90-degrees to the base, through
the screw hole, to the top: 4-1/16 inch.
- Distance from top edge 90-degrees to screw center: 1-3/16 inch
- Length of top edge: 3-3/32 inch
- Base width: 1-3/4 inch
- Screw hole diameter, major (head): 0.285 inch
- Screw hole depth, major (head): 0.173 inch (avg).
- Screw hole diameter, minor (thread): 0.155 inch
- Screw hole depth, minor (thickness of web): 0.08 (aprox)
- Depth of relief on back, left grip top: 0.05 inch
As with any checkered or carved grip, the pearl effects
don't look "bad" but they also don't show the swirls and
figure as well as with a smooth grip. If you order with
optional pearl colors, bear in mind that you won't really
get the full effect of pearl on any checkered grip. It
looks OK, but just not the same as on a smooth grip. In order
to get a smooth grip, you'll need to order one...not this
one! The grips are exactly what you see, made in precise
molds.
These grips are attached by the original factory screws
which come with the gun. Screws are not provided with
the grips. (I provide screws for grips that use a single
screw, through one grip panel and into the second panel,
into which I can then install the proper matching press-fit
nut. That way, the diameter and thread of the nut and
the screw are matched and can be a universal standard
rather than some odd thing invented 50 years ago that
you can only get from a gun parts distributor. Obviously,
a grip like this one requires screws which match the
size and thread in the gun frame, so I can't install a
standard size kit for you.)
