I would like to have checkered ivory grips for at least one of my 1860 Richards Conversions. Is there anyplace to find it?

There are also laser engravers who can checker the grips any way you want them, in case you don't fine exactly what you are looking for.

Can anyone tell me if Gripmaker is still in business? I tried two different emails and neither one is working.

I ordered from Gripmaker. I am a little disappointed with how much work it is going to take to make them fit. He sent a practice piece to work on first. I have it close but some of the areas needing sanded down is getting colse to the checkered areas

Would love to see how they turned out.

 Have been put on hold. I am trying to finish my old F100 project right now. Also I am not feeling comfortable fitting them. My truck and the gun I am working on with the leather I made for it

Awesome truck, pappy! How do you keep the mice out?

Howdy Pappy,

With the prices they are asking for new pickups, I don't blame you for trying to keep that old truck on the road. (By the way it looks magnificent.)

Beautiful truck, Pappy! You've done some fine leatherwork on those seats. That pistol is no slouch, either. Thanks for posting the photos.

Wish I could claim the work on the seats, but a local shop did them for me. I did make the holster belt set.

Looks good. Incised slim jims have a look their own.

I got the grips on my Richard's. But they didn't come out tight. The one piece centering block must have moved on me. Any ideas now ho I can make them fit tight? I shimmed with some leather and it is good and tight.

Maybe build it up with a thin layer of JB Weld and file that down to fit.
