Gorgeous!!
What moderator do you have there? And what power are you shooting - and does the moderator work well? I'm looking for a very quiet moderator for the GK1 at about 30 to 40 ft-lbs.

Huma 30mm with 3 section on the pistol comes with 4 sections It's made for .25 and it is quieter. 40ft lbs shouldn't be a problem. I have several 3d prints that work well also. Finding one might be pretty hard though.

Holy Smokes!! Want to intro all three and explain the purpose of each? i.e. Caliber, power setting, etc.
What are the moderators? And which is most effective?
Also, have you tested accuracy of each at longer distances such as 50, 75, or even 100 yards?
Again, a most impressive stable!

Thanks. And without question, you have the most elegant looking grips.
Would you kindly share your process and how long did it take you to do one grip now that you have the process down? Thanks.

I see. Wow, 4 hours just to burn the checker areas and the base of the grip. It sure looks nice. I would tempted to just use a dark gray translucent dye/pigment...LOL! ANd what finish to make it darker and slightly shiny?

so you used a little torch or something after masking the rest of the grip, or what exactly? Did you sand the rest of the grip as well, and apply different stain? can you provide more details....

No masking no sanding no stain I wiped down the grip with soapy water flushed it off wiped it down paper napkin. Set it in the sun till dried. Went the the garage hung it on the garage door and opened the door and hit it with the polyurethane. Added pix of my burner bought it in 74 !
