Maple Grips

[Webster1967]

So ordered some Maple grips from L/S Grips , fit and finish are great!! Almost a perfect fit and as good or better than factory. Makes the old thing a little more eye catching!?!?

Nice grips. I also like maple on guns. Several sets of maple grips on my Rugers and a few Browning .22 rifles in maple.

That looks Beautiful. I have three Ruger revolver with unfinished maple grips on them. I finished them with a wax finish only. I like the feel of the warm wood when I handle them or shoot them. One is a Single Six Hunter and a Super Blackhawk Hunter along with a Vaquero. Yours really looks awesome.

Sweeet! They look great.

For the OP,, you mentioned you got the grips from L/S grips.

Would this happen to be "Lone Star Custom Grips" by chance???

Too "Plain Jane" for me! Tastes vary.

I very much like the blond maple look. It can look like anything from bone/ivory/horn to micarta.

Now, speaking of maple, I don't understand everything there is to understand.

The above grips are very light. I have other maple products that are much darker. I have a maple-colored stock that is quite red. I have some maple grips that are also red but very figured.

Is all maple blond to start with and it's stained as desired? Or are there extremely different colors of maple?

Stock grips look better to me. Without the Ruger bird inlay, all you see is the screw, and it is so far back it looks unbalanced.

What year is the gun? I need some to fit a 1957 Single Six; XR3 frame.

Almost looks like holly with that light tone; very sharp looking.
