Making new grips for an 1860 Richards
« on: February 28, 2005, 10:42:41 AM »
Awhile back I changes my 1860 Richards Army conversion to a set of '51 Navy grips with pearlite handles. Here are some pics.

Attaching a spacer with epoxy. That will allow the use of two-piec grips without a grip anchor stud

Think I've asked this before, but what'd you do with the Army grip frame?  I could use a couple, or ten!  :D

I'm pretty sure I gave that particular Army grip to Roughshod...but it was five years or more ago, so I could be wrong.

I'm pretty sure I've got an Army grip assembly laying around...might be a Pietta. Drop me an Email and we can palaver.
