Show Your Smocks!

Sure, the finger choil was done with a 7/8” small wheel attachment on a 2x72 grinder, roughed in at 80 grit, then 120, and finished with 220. The I used a fine triangle rod from my Sharpmaker to dress the edges of the grind to dress the edges.

It would be possible to do this with a dremel tool, but would require a fair amount of care and patience. I would rough it in with a carbide burr then finish with sanding drums if that’s what I was using.

Thanks Casper. Sounds like it might be a little bit out of my scope right now. Looks great though!! Well done!

Different scales on my Smock. Not sure if the red clip will stay or not....

Tero Tuff from Rips Garage. My first experience with it. I like it so far, seems to remind me of linen micarta (feels soft). I do feel that it will be pretty durable.
Skiff bearings and Lynch clip, as well.
I must say that your posts on this thread inspired me to switch the scales up, so thanks for that, Rick!
Love the Smock platform!

Very nice, I never heard of it before but after doing a quick search it sounds a lot like micarta. I also replaced the factory bearings for skiff bearings.

Looks great! Looks like it'll age/patina really well. Any problems with the swap?

[Manixguy@1994]

Hi Jimmy ! Well since it was my first scale swap ever yes ! Must say thank you for advice . Lanyard hole on button side was a tiny bit under sized , razor blade and a light ream worked fine . I did get frustrated but txted with JSumm and PStone for support and watched Nick’s Utube and then things clicked . Scales are Tertuf and has a nice grip , no fuzz . Wanted a different color and green is a favorite but wanted it not to be too green and let it develop it’s on look . Removed second detent , works fine without it much smoother feeling , nice drop and centering perfect as from factory. Overall very happy . Thank you again . Dan

Hi guys, first post, love this forum! Just picked up a Smock and have ordered a deep carry clip but in the mean time, borrowed my Caribbean Leaf Ti clip and dark screws. I really like the way it looks.
