Title: What do BBs, Elmers Glue and 1377 Grips Have in Common?
Post by: BDS on November 09, 2012, 11:12:16 PM
Mix e'm all together and pour inside the grip halves and you have a HUGE improvement in weight and feel of the stock grips.

I just did this to my WallyWorld, $52 1377 and it's a totally different feel, much improved over that hollow, plastic toy feel  :-*

I like to fill the void in mine with folded up hundred dollar bills. That way the grips don't feel so cheap to me. :D

I think there is a party at 007's tonight!!!  ;D


I have never tried filling the grips, but maybe I should. You are not the first person to bring up the benefits of doing so.  :-*

Take the grip panels off, sell on ebay and put the 1399 sholder stock on, end of problem.

Do the grips weigh more with BBs anad glue than if stuffed with duct seal?

most likely. steel bbs weight quite a bit in a large amount and glue can hold alot of them.

Substitute RTV for the glue and substitute pellets for the BB's and you will never be completely out of usable ammo (you know... in a pinch like when the zombies come).   :-*

I sit a one ounce sinker inside, filled with siliconized adhesive caulk and painted black.  The loose sinkers are to show what I put inside.  The grips were brown plastic from a 1377 phase II.  They feel pretty good now.

And these grips are now on my 1377 Phase II that I'm working on. And yes, the weight in the grips sure makes a difference in the feel of the gun. ;)

I'm bored and I look at what the Guest are looking at. That is how I found this.
This gun you made up sure helped me out. The grip frame, piston, valve and front pivot pin went into the build on my 1322. The lead grips are now on my 1377 phase II project. By the way, what all did you do to the valve?

I do not remember what I did to the valve, probably polished it a little and replaced the internals. Here is my post.  :)

I replaced the stock on my 2400 KT with an aluminum one with a built in power valve. The replacement grips I filled with epoxy putty. I ground off the ambidextrous ridge on the right grip, the grinding went into the epoxy. The left I built up the thumb ridge with the epoxy putty and ground it to fit. I then sprayed them with truck bed liner spray from a spray can. Weird stuff, really never sets up and the grip is always sorta "tacky".

I actually don't mind the plastic grips  :-[

After making a solid steel FT pump, it feels much heavier in the front which is what I like. Hey Mr. 007, have some extra bills lying around? I might try your method anyway. Seems to work   :P

It would probably work for you as it would more than likely freeze solid.  :)
