Burl walnut custom grip maker ?
« on: April 17, 2015, 12:45:18 AM »
Hey all,

I have a couple of Colt 2nd gen's I shoot with. I wanted to get some nice burl walnut grips made for them and was hoping someone knows a specialist in the area.

The first pistol has plain grain cartouche grips and the second has their "red" grips they were fond of in the 70's

Thanks,
Jake
