Fax ivory and black ebony grips for Remk 58
« on: October 19, 2005, 12:19:55 PM »
Does anyone know a source for Fax Ivory grips, and Black Ebony grips for the Remington 1858?? No one seems to list grips for the Remington's other then the standard wood grips.

www.truivory.com will sell and fit a new set of grips for ya.  They're more $$$ than the others, but their ivory grips look, feel, and act like the real thing - at 1/4 the price.  I'm not sure, but the price of fitting the grips (used to be) included in the purchase price.  Shipping was extra.

I have 6 sets of   www.Truivory.com . You can't go wrong. They do custom fit each set. Which means you may have to send them the grip frames so they can be fit correctly. E-mail Glen for more info,

I didn't like the original grips on mine and as a temporary measure simply swabed them thoroughly with black leather dye (Lincoln dye). After a half a minute or so wiped them off and rubbed them to get the luster back. They have that ebony look. I'll change them one day, but for now, they work good. I've used them at the last two matches and the dye hasn't rubbed off at all.
