What king of grips are you looking for??? Bone, wood or something else??

 

[SEIndSAM]

Oh, and good morning Leadeye...

Hi Leadeye

 

[Leadeye]

Exactly right Sam, it came with some repro grips which were good, but looked out of place on a 115 year old workhorse. I'm looking for something old looking but still serviceable in a period material like wood or bone.

 

[1DOWN4UP]

We're the original grips wood or bakelite?

Hope the yard is dry enough
I can drive in it to wash vehicles today.

It won't be if you wash cars on it!

 

[1DOWN4UP]

Gonna pull em down the hill alittle

 

[db1959]

Holy ****, I think I see the sun!

 

[db1959]

It is the sun.

 

[Leadeye]

In 1902 the original grips would have been wood or gutta percha. These are in much better shape than the gun itself and take away from the over all look.

 

[SEIndSAM]

Holy ****, I think I see the sun!

Still cloudy here...

 

[1DOWN4UP]
