Needs must and all that! The new made Mk2 butts are absolutely stunning. It's not my job. I'm just advising someone else of the technicalities. But as Mk2 grips are in short supply, it's a good opportunity to investigate the feasibility of converting them. I'm sure that the Indians will have looked into something similar in the past - that or Mk2's to 1's. Anyway, we'll see..............

Thanks for your hep and advice chaps!
