If that twist tie is mil-spec then just use it to hold the tang on there!
Those Stark grips are fugly.
Sucks it broke. I've been lucky enough to never have that happen.
Dammit. I was wondering how long it would take someone to comment on the twist tie!
Chalk it up to experience, I guess. I can now no longer ridicule first time builders who break theirs. I cursed a lot.
I'm tucking the rifle away in my safe (out of sight & out of mind!) until next pay day. I know the SE-1 grip is fugly, but I want the tangs covered. I don't think it will look too bad. We'll see...
