I figured that I should at least show what outfit I was in during 'Nam. So I went to the Army/Navy store and got a couple of CAV pins. Ground the pins off the backs, made an outline as to where I wanted them on the grips. then I went to town with my Dremel tool, got exactly what Iwanted it to look like.Mounted the pins with expoxy and then covered them with polyeurathene, and they came out pretty good for a first time try.

Nice job on the grips.
That is the only place it is permissable to use a "Dremmel" on a Rock.
All kidding asside the grips look real good, and show your pride in your Unit as well as the Rock.

nice personal touch. I would like to do something like that for my Pop, but he won't touch a firearm anymore.

you guys will be my heros 'til the day I die...

thanks for your service.
