Yes, you will need the lanyard cut on the grip. I have a few sets floating around.

Update - The gun is in pieces with the gunsmith; however, he says we are about a week or so out. I'll get the photos up once I've retrieved the gun from the spa. Thanks all.

It's been blasted. Lots of rust marks. Next is a polish then off for the re-blue. The smith is doing a great job. Highly recommend Eric Zinn!

I could use that lanyard ring if you are going to dump it. Need it for my pre-MKII Classic resto.

I'll check to see if he still has it.

Yes, Brownells sells them.

It is very easy to relieve the left grip for a lanyard ring, but an original would likely look better.

You still have to find a right side grip though - the sides are sold separately. Browning may still have them, but make sure to specify the FLAT black grips or they will send you the contoured black plastic ones.

FYI the "Vintage" flat black plastic HP grips sold by Midway USA are very flimsy. I would avoid them unless you are desperate.


GREAT project! Please keep us posted.
