Grip repairs

Hugh · 04-23-2018, 11:58 AM

Due to health conditions, (COPD), I will no longer be accepting grips for repairs or restoration.

Jim Soloman does an oustanding job in this field, and I highly recommend him for your grip restoration needs.

Your work and ethics set a high standard, I know of several grip/stock examples being used and admired today.

I wish you only the best.

Hugh old friend... maintaining your health has to take priority. Your work will be missed, but Jim Solomon is ready to step up and give you some well earned relief... I am sure he was inspired by your work.

Jim Solomon · 04-24-2018, 01:37 PM

Yes indeed......Hugh invited me into his home and shared his knowledge regarding checkering and restoration with me. In fact, I bought my checkering tools wth the suggestions of Hugh. A most enjoyable individual. Thanks Hugh.
