Thx Ian. I've read about Bruce's "Shooters Grips" here, but never saw a pair before. They look good. The other question I had pertained to Curmudgeon's new Micarta grips. What I was really interested in knowing was with Micarta, is some specialized fitting needed and if so is it something the end user can do (us) or do we need to plan on sending the frame. |

Ginsaw. Fitting to an actual frame is always the best but I can compinsate for the average, which fits about 90 % of the guns. But you would probably have no way of knowing if your frame had excessive warp or noy. In some cases you might be able to tell if there is a contact point where there shouldn't be...Cheers.

That's helpful. Probably then it'll work OK, but if it's way off I assume you can help. Just let us know. The maroon especially sounds interesting. |

Got to Gunbroker and our friend Don has some Jurras laminated grips for $400 a set. Seems about right, LEJ charge about $40-50 thirty years ago and I made $6/hr.

I have a set just like that, but don't want to use them, as rumors they may crack.

Well Bullethole I've shot literally tens of thousands of rounds thru my numerous AM's w/o breaking any. But did have several customers break theirs where I wasn't able to fit to frame. Then after examining several hundred frames decided to quit making the stocks in wood, laminated or otherwise. Will just build in Micarta now. If you could examine fit to frame see there is proper clearance, you would probably be ok. FWIW Dept.

Hello Curmudgeon!
After checking fit-to-frame, I think these will be just fine. Thank you for your input, it is much appreciated!

Make sure you have the rubber "O" rings under the stock screws...:-)
