fpf Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Hi I’m hoping someone can help me with me a problem removing my original grips from the frame of my BUL SAS II UR. All screws are out as well as the magwell. It’s definitely loose but looks like it is hanging up on the grip screw bushing which I understand is not removable because it’s part of the frame. Any help would be immensely appreciated. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpf Posted January 29, 2023 Author Share Posted January 29, 2023 Got them off this morning more or less as you described. Thanks to all those who pitched in. As an aside, the grips are truly my least favorite part of this otherwise beautiful gun. I’ve heard Cheely grips can be modified to fit but Prasky Guns is not accepting jobs due to a backlog so - that sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had them fitted by a fellow handy and experienced competitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpf Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Ok I’m confused on two points now. BUL advises they stopped selling their metal grips as a later add on. (There are no grips currently listed on their website). They also advise NONE of their open guns will be equipped with metal grips - they went all polymer for 2023 and beyond. Secondly, while it’s a moot point now, if they did still sell them separately, why would they have to be “fitted” at all? Shouldn’t they just be sold ready to install? Probably a good business decision for them to go polymer but terrible for those of us who want to support their product line. Their plastic grips suck.

LordManHammer Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I love my steel grip Bullesteros and steel grip UR-F. But, if Bul has decided to go all polymer for their Open guns moving forward my next Open gun will not be a Bul Armory gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpf Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 Nor will mine. I was just given this info re grips a few moments ago during a phone call with Bul in Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
