very nice markers here!
Scotty Beans and Cyco... Those are some nice 45 grips!

Ugh so many good choices! And guns I wished I owned ha! Congrats to you guys on some excellent builds. Basically the top 3 of the list are a toss up for me.
I made the mistake of trading for a mag...now I'm trapped

if you had a dremel tool and a drill, you could turn down some 8-32 buttonhead screws to fit inside the grips. that's what i did for mine (otherwise the head is too large to fit). you put the screw in the drill and turn it, while grinding the outside of the head down with the dremel tool and sanding drum. poor-man's lathe!
I would just open up (deepen) the countersinks and keep the standard screws since the grips are clear/raw.
That way, any future standard #8 FHSC screws fit.

altering screws is fast, free (if you have the tools) and leaves the grips un-altered for use on different frames in the future. also, there would be no chance in screwing the grips up by trying to countersink them. much cleaner to just grind the screw heads down.
Or you can specifically buy smaller headed screws
Keiko's is easily the best looking for me. Though, I'd really like a picture with a better angle. Personally, I've always loved the simplicity of sk8ermog's pics.

God is good
Hate to see guns with no votes.
Wish I could split my vote between the two with no votes.
Someone vote for one of them and make my choice easier plz....
I would just counter sink the holes to proper depth, with the proper machining equipment it's the easiest route. All solutions are a matter of perspective.

I like to use flathead screws because the machining can be done with one operation instead of three. For example on a pan head screw you would have to spot, drill, counter sink. On a flat head I use this for one operation >>>
Someone vote for 1985phenom .
close race, and still a couple days to go!
Haha, I know that mag of the month has a lot to do with being a popularity contest and whatnot and I have no issue with that. I also normally don't vote on my mag on motm but it's pretty funny when you see a few new profiles pop up on the last day of the poll, maybe just the stars aligning...my builds take time and I usually don't post pictures of them until I am happy with the finished product...maybe I'm just ranting, maybe I will win next time, but thanks to everyone that voted on my mag
5 voters registered on AO 7/10/2015 is what he's referring to.
I probably would have voted for the red one except I dont like to see a contestant with zero votes, there were two like that, so I voted for one of them....
Exactly... being here on AO you kind of remember screen names but when there are new memeber created around the same time and happen to all vote for a certain mag....
Ah well. Had a good run in the lead for a bit there, which was a first for me I think. Gotta build some prettier mags! Good month everyone
Sorry keiko. Your mag was money and got my vote. I smell fish sticks up in here.
Hey everyone, sorry for the late reply. I have talked to the Mod team about this and apparently they identified the issue and took the necessary steps to correct it. With that, Zondo, sorry man but we will have to review the poll results accordingly. I will nominate keiko as this month's winner as he had more valid votes after all. I hope you understand it and don't take it personally. I honestly love that Mag of yours and I do believe it's MOTM worth so I hope you can re-enter it for July's poll, ok? If you have any questions, concerns or just want to vent, please reach me out through a PM.
Thanks,
Mendel.
EDIT: by the way, this is the main reason why I made the votes public when I took over the MOTM poll. I remember competing on it and seeing that some Mags received a lot of votes on a single day and it felt weird at the time so I always strived for transparency. Thanks to everyone who pointed that out.

Man, I go on vacation for a couple of weeks and all hell breaks loose.
I'm good with whatever decision you guys come up with. I throw in when it looks like there isn't a whole lot of entries in a month anyway
