    for flat backed grips start around $95, if they wrap around the frame figure $130 and up depending on how involved they are

    take a look at the link, as stated on the website i dont have a copier to "crank them out" all the inletting and shaping is done with chisel and file

    a new model requires that i have to make a mock frame first to do the fitting, so anyone with old broken, rusted or otherwise "junk" frames, let me know!
    as long as i know for sure what it is from, it would save me a lot of time and i wouldnt have to wait for peoples stock grips to get here first...

    My hat's off to U Keith... My Cousins Grandpaw used to do gunsmithing and custom grip/stock work too.
    His basement shop looked like the overflow shed at RIPLEYS BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!!![:D]

    I have a Ruger New Model Blackhawk grip frame lying around here somewhere that I would donate if you can use it.

    Let me know.

    I had to tweak my grips to get them to fit correctly.....


    But they ARE beautiful and well worth the price to me.

    I have been considering having you do a set of grips for one or more of mine. I have fallen in love with the work you have done for the other guys on here. The one that needs it the most is my 3" Ruger Speed Six, it currently wears a set of Houge rubber that dont fit my hand well. I also have a nice set of small stag grips for it, but you really don't want to shoot Magnums out of it with those.

    Another would be one of my Contenders, a Harrett style grip and a nice wide base, full length forend for a 10" barrel would be great.

    Of course I would love to fix up the grips on my RPM XL, that gun desires a nice fancy wood.
