Aftermarket grips for Uberti No. 3 Russian
« on: September 16, 2009, 10:50:08 PM »
Anyone have a source for aftermarket grips for the Uberti No. 3 Russian?

I know Tombstone Grips & Gripmaker both offer polymer grips for the Russian.  I was hoping to find something natural (exotic wood, horn, stag, etc...)

Pancho,

I have two Schofields that the previous owner put stag grips on ... he had them done at Eagle Grips ....

http://www.eaglegrips.com/

I would give him a call ... but realize that real stag grips are not cheap ... figure +/- $200.00 per gun.

I was just trying to get a piece of 1" wide tubular round stag 4" long to make a grip for a bowie, and the cheapest I could find for the raw materials was $40.00.

I must say though that the grips are worth it ... not only are they gorgeous, but in the 110+ heat around here, they have never seemed greasy or slippery ....

French Jack,

Thanks for the tips on the three sources ... two of them were for ivory alone, and I had already found the Elenhunting site, but your post got me to call them ... and it looks like I could get a bank at about $35.00, or about $5 lower than what I could have gotten from Eagle Grips ...
