Browning Buckmark owners

#1

Post by gunpoorboy1 »

I just got in trade a nice Buckmark Hunter (7 1/4 inch barrel). It shoots fantastic but the beautiful wood grips are just a little too thick for a comfortable shooting grip for my hand.
I see alot of grips on line that I could replace them with but I can't tell by looking at the pictures if they are thinner than the ones I have.

Can anyone suggest a resource where I could get thinner grips?

You might want to find a friend or a shop with a more standard Buckmark to see how it feels without the wooden grips.

eBay is a good place to look.

I put a set of these on the Buckmark I use for steel challenge, then wrapped the grip in skateboard tape.

Can you take a picture from the front and rear, so we can see how thick the current grips are?

I mic’d the width of the grip of my Buckmark with the eBay grips and skateboard tape.

I got 1.302 inches.

I ended up getting a set from Hogue called their Extreme Series Grips. They look exactly like the ones that Noshoot put a picture of.
Thanks to all the responders, problem solved.
