Hello,
I am new to the forums and have learned so very much from reading others' posts. Thank you.
I have a WTP 2 that is in very good shape, complete with a small leather holster and 2 sets of grips. One is what appears to be the original black plastic ones. The the other is a clear plastic set under which a former owner put pictures of family members. I am uncertain if these pictures where of German or American ownership.
However, I do not have grip screws for it. I have looked endlessly online for them and cannot find any. Numrich lists them but they have been "sold out" for at least a year and have no idea when or if they will ever carry them again. I asked them if they had some sort of interchangeability reference (as in, does another gun use the same screws?), but they do not. I monitor Ebay and Gunbroker regularly. I have spoken to two gunsmiths who said they could track some down but have had no luck. Another gunsmith said he could retap the holes and fabricate some new grip screws, for a rather hefty price, but I would like to keep it in original condition. I've asked dozens of sellers at local gun shows and they just wish me luck. Can anyone help me find and acquire two grip screws? Does another more readily available Mauser firearm use the same screws?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Greg
