buying grips
 

I got someone to ship real 1911 grips. am I going to have a problem receiving them? Do I need any special license to pick them up?

I'm sure it will be fine.
As long as it's not with the frame.

For future reference, these are the types of questions you should ask *before* committing to a purchase. At any rate, as Mr.Hitman has stated, so long as they're just the grip panels and not a lower receiver you should be fine. As they are not a restricted item, you don't need a license or permit to import them.
