: Had to make some grips
: Splash May 04, 2007, 12:08:47 PM
I borrowed a buddy's Benji H9A pump pistol to play with. The grips that were on it were to short and very uncomfortable, so I made another set for it that are about 5/8" longer witha slightly different shape. I could not get the pins to come out of the pump arm, so I left it and just finished the grips to match, kind of hard to match up Walnut and Alder, but it came out close. I am not going to post a before pic, because the original grips aren't worth taking a pic of, hehe, sorry about the crummy pics I had Eds camera, hehe.

Lookin' good Bullseye!!!  

I like that you made the grip longer, the Crosman grips are a little small imho too, always guessed the Benji grips were too.
