[QUOTE="joegrizzy, post: 3798695, member: 45524"] yeah i understand the mauser itself uses this shallower angle, but the threaded hole in the receiver is what it is. i don't want an ugly hole that takes up like half the length of the rear of the grip instead of being hidden at the bottom. you *could* get a biscuit or some of the kreg hole plugs that might be able to shape and fit inside there, but dang, like i said i'm not even sure if drilling that hole like that would be a safe option in an expensive piece of wood. i have thought about how the actual mauser grip is like all pistol grips; that is wood side panels fastened thru on a metal frame. i have thought about finding a skeletonized metal frame that would fit some panels i could just screw together on either side, but those skeletonized frame grips are *expensive* already so that kinda defeats the purpose lol. BUT that would look the best and you could then easily use whatever angle without having to worry about boring thru ~4'' of wood. [/QUOTE]
