The HUDY works great. I would not remove or tighten the grips without it.

But, Jack, I respectfully suggest that instant gratification may be highly overrated. Instant gratification might be compared to throwing back a slug of Tennessee "moonshine" from a Mason jar. On the other hand, gratification preceded by an appropriate time of anticipation might be compared to sipping three fingers of single-malt Scotch served neat in a crystal glass. ;)

I am proud to own this fine Jem!
Title: Re: Farmingdale & Accessories
Post by: Z on January 17, 2014, 07:34:18 PM: I have also Blue and Black CF OEM grips and VZ blue and black CF grips.

I have been busy and have not had the opportunity to swap the grips around.

I also ordered brown hyena checkered VZ grips. I am not sure what will look best with this color frame.
Title: Re: Farmingdale & Accessories
Post by: mz368 on January 18, 2014, 07:42:35 AM: Congratulations Adam!

The pre-R silver framed R9's are most likely the rarest of the rare. And in my view the best looking. My 141 has the "plum" frame.

Title: Re: Farmingdale & Accessories
Post by: Z on January 18, 2014, 08:50:14 AM: Thank you Chris.

143 has a plum frame as well. It's hard to tell from the pic.

The silver frame Farmingdale happens to be my favorite though.

Of course. I was thinking of R343. Thanks for setting that straight. ;-)

Title: Re: Farmingdale & Accessories

I ordered three of them from A Main Hobby online.
Title: Re: Farmingdale & Accessories

I would not use a allen wrench from a set anymore after using a HUDY.

If you use a Hudy Driver and Johns screws and O-rings you will eliminate loose grip screws and striped screws.

That's a beautiful photograph.

Here's one of a place near Critter Creek just after a rain storm up on the mountain. This photo was taken late last month, just before the first incursion by that so-called Polar Vortex. No plinking here, though. It's just inside the boundary of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
