Title: Burl walnut custom grip maker ?
Post by: Hargrave 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

Bill does great work.  He's done a few pistols in American Holly for me.
