Maybe I should just be happy with what I have got and continue packing plasticine and lead pellets into the voids. 😁

How about cutting the top of an appropriate screw off its thread and drill out the moulded fake screw and glue the screw-top in the hole nice and flush?

They do look really good. 👍👍
I did think at first that the paint job James had done on mine was a real screw head!

I've looked at these before but I'm worried that they are too thin (as opposed to fatter more rounded grips), not enough 'meat' to them once you've rebated the wood enough in for the CO2 system By the time you've paid VAT & delivery you could be looking at £50-ish and that's a good chunk of cash to lose if it doesn't fit properly. No VAT, but out of stock... Just keep packing those voids... 😜

We’re all just skeletons walking around coved in skin but we don’t see ourselves that way so why not have a painted on screw. It looks the same as a real one and who will know? It’s not like people will try and unscrew it and if they do you'd probably be too busy lamping them for being rude.

I have had a change of heart, I think I will fit some pink socket-head screws instead! 😁

I have been screwing around again... With the M29 of course! Happier with the grip and two frame screws, just need to sort out that pesky M2 screw near the rear sight.
