Where can I get new grips?

Marc · 02-03-2001, 01:52 AM

I'm looking for wood grips to replace the plastic one's I currently have. I'm looking to spend $30-40. I figured some of you all have bought a set or two. Thanks, Marc

Sarco, Marstar and CMR are three good sources Marc. Links for for all of these are on our Links & Resources page.

They all had walnut. I'm looking for a lighter color like the picture at the top left.

Dok · 02-03-2001, 12:38 PM

Thor340.aol.com... They're all walnut, and I believe he stains them to be whatever colour is needed, so my guess is that the grips you purchase will be really light and you stain them to suit your taste.

[email protected]... he could answer some questions on colour also.

The ones I buy are unstained and I darken them to taste! What's your Receipe Dok, I think you wanted Blonde/Light Brown on your rework! You won em in the Luger trivia test!

Might have your Gypsy/Jewel to the bluer by Monday? It could happen assuming I got the machine gunning fixed! Ted

Here again for confirmation, is what you and I had agreed with regard to the TDJ on "The Jewel":

Light colored grips with checkering courtesy of Hugh Clark (Contest Prize!!!)

Mag Bottoms to match grips courtesy of Gerry Tomek on two new mags

Medium Strawing on the six (6) following parts:

Extractor (Item 3 in your diagram)

Ejector (Item 16 in your diagram)

Magazine Catch (Item 21 in your diagram)

Locking Bolt (Item 25 in your diagram)

Trigger (Item 26 in your diagram)

Safety Lever (Item 32 in your diagram)

And Safety Bar polished to white (Item 31 in your diagram)

And all the gold stamps and the little Ted "TDJ" touches.

(I'm competing against "The Swan" here - he he he) not to mention that AWESOME Double Date!!!

I can't wait to see it... the suspense is MURDER!!!!

Patrick · 02-03-2001, 03:24 PM

... and dark, oily blue, heat treated grip screws, extractor and front sight? Enough to make you drool. Patrick

Dok · 02-03-2001, 03:38 PM

but the rest sounds pretty good

Marc · 02-03-2001, 09:45 PM

Ted, Where do you get your grips and how much? Or if your selling them let me know. Thanks

Ted · 02-03-2001, 10:05 PM

I get them from CMR in an unstained state (they dont have any right now) They MIGHT have the stained ones, I sub them out to Hugh, who for a very reasonable fee, he removes that hideous back edge that all repros (except NILLE-GRIFF) have and then recheckers and returns them to me. I stain them to customers desires. I dont see them outright but save them for my reworks. I would if I had more. I purchase them once a year from CMR. Hugh may or maynot have some left. I have tried to convince Hogue grips to make them to no avail. Occassionaly you see them on ebay or gunbroker.com. I wish I had more, but I am really getting the impression that I need to stock more of them. Sorry, I wasnt more help? I charge $50 for them and NILLE GRIFF offer excellent ++ grips from Germany but they are high once you add on the shipping from Germany around $90 per pair, but they are the finest as far as material and fit. They usually have to be had fitted. Marvin Cook has a pair he will sell you...... JUST KIDDING......I dont think you could pry those away with a tractor. Good luck, if you want to buy the expensive NILLES I can give you an email address to contact an English speaking gent there that can help you! Ted

Hugh · 02-04-2001, 01:23 AM

I can supply grips like the ones pictured above on Marvins gun checkered 20 LPI all the way to the edge for $50. These grips are made of Cocobolo, not Walnut, and in my opinion are much prettier than Walnut. At present I only have two pair of very light "blond" ones, first come first served. Contact me by email if interested in a pair.

Marc,

I have read all the posting about the grips and you have seen the pictures of my Nill grips and they are as close to the original I have seen, but they are pricy. To get a nice pair that have been reworked to original, get a set from Hugh! His work is fantastic! He can take a pair of the repro and make them look original. There are some grips being sold on the market by SARCO and Inter-Ordnance for approx. $15 a pair, but the checkering is very course and they don't usually fit very well without some work. The price is good, but they look like "crap". Get a pair from Hugh! If he is sold out, give Tom Heller a call; his number is on the Links & Resource area.

Marvin
