My Cell Phone Camera does not do these justice.





Bubinga Exotic Wood Grips from Raasco. Very Satisfied. The grip you see online with the exotic series is what you get and the pictures both online and with my Camera do not do these grips justice when you can see them in person and the light hits them.

50 dollars for the price I think it was a good buy considering a lot of folks that make custom grips charge a 100 or more for comparable wood grips with that much figure.

Very nice grips JH. Really completes an already nice looking gun.

A month or so ago I found that a company is making grips for obsolete firearms. I have a Unique Corsair .22 Auto. The grip was a wrap around style made from Bakelite. It had shrunk over a half inch in length pulling out the screw holes and was crunmbling to pieces. I ordered the new grip and since it was back ordered I decided to strip it down and have a friend bead blast the frame and refinish it. It went to him this morning about 2 hours before the back ordered grip arrived. Now the wait starts. I hope I remember how to put it all back together when it gets back. LOL No screws involved except for the grips. About a half dozen drive pins through the frame though. It's amazing how many things they can make pivot on one shaft. RD

Handsome grips. May have to look that outfit up. No, I WILL
look them up. though a little fuzzy, at least you know how
to post pics, and the fuzziness didn't detract from the
subject.............................Kingpin

Yea KP phone camera's are not the best for real close up pics since they are not focus adjustable and mine rated better (more MP) then some of them.
