  With some time and patience you can do it.  Buy the gripframe and carefully fit it to your frame. (there's a thread on this on RugerForum.com.  If you have the patience I do, contact John gallagher about fitting it.

I have had several Rugers fitted with new frames by Alan Harton. Once in a while the main frame requires welding to get the grip frame to fit right. I highly recommend his work, especially if theres any welding involved.
