Default New Shoes For An Old Horse

Got these Sambar Stag grips a while back off of fleabay, but they were too thick. I've been working on thinning them and finally got them down to a comfortable thickness. After also replacing the magazines, mag release, mainspring, recoil spring, barrel, bushing, extractor, ejector, rear sights, mainspring housing and restaking the plunger tube, it almost shoots like a pony again...

Picture doesn't do justice...
