scottb Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Now that my FEG 9mm is functioning, I kinda like it. I made one huge improvement - I replaced to wood grips that came with the pistol to the Browning hipower contour grips. Note pistol is unloaded for the pics.I needed to file down a bit of the plastic on the inside of the grip to fit the frame. The threaded hole on the frame was just about a half screw diameter off to allow the grips to just bolt on. I did not want to just drill out the hole on the grip, since the molded screw hole is counter sunk. I tried using sandpaper, a file and even the wife's emory nail file board. Still wasn't removing the plastic in the way it needed to be removed. So I borrowed a Dremel and removed the plastic. I was concerned about the dremel since I did not want to melt the plastic or cause it to discolor on the outside of the grip. But it worked out fine.Before:AFTER:Range time this weekend at Stonewall anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Anyone know if stonewall has a ruger LC9 for rent? I want to put a box of ammo through that and the keltec competitor for comparison sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Speedytriple might know, Plan B, call them. I rented a SPringfiled XDm there and the gun had several jams.

redkow97 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 A buddy from out of town and I were talking about going Saturday anyway. Chances are I won't have time, but even if they don't have an LC9, I could get a 25 yard baseline for my scope on the 10/22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Or Sunday, we can go to the outdoor A and A range in Garretsville ( near Nelson Ledges), but they dont rent pistols there. But at least you would have more distance with the 10/22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Looks good Scott. If I had some money I would go get my lc9 out of layaway. LOL Red if you want to come up to the range I will bring my rifle rest to clamp your gun down to help you zero the scope. I would bring the buckmark indoor or out. Motozach?(sp) needs to make a range trip with us this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
