Another INGLIS thread

[Paul S.]

About the stripped grip screw - I have to wonder if someone has tried to replace the inch pattern Inglis grip screw with a metric FN? If so, I suspect there is a good chance that the frame screw hole is stripped, or at least cross-threaded as well.

Clive Law's book, "INGLIS DIAMOND; THE CANADIAN HIGH POWER PISTOL" list's your serial number as within the July 1944 production.

The pistol came with newer wood grips and no lanyard ring. Thanks to 2 very generous Forum members, one on Milsurps and one on CGN, I received a free set of original grips and a free original lanyard ring. The one good screw fits well in either side of the pistol, but the other screw is cross threaded and will not tighten all the way, also the slot is a little deformed. I am pretty sure I just need one good screw to solve the problem.

Thanks for the date confirmation!
