Ugh. Not for lack of trying on this end. I'll see what I can do.

Well, until I can somehow figure out why my email isn't going through- this will have to do. I'd like to get $120 for it plus shipping. Bobby Tyler currently sells these for $169. PayPal F&F or Postal MO. If you're interested let me know and we'll figure something out.

Off a 2022 vintage New Vaquero. No flaws on frame. Factory rosewood laminate grips. Small crack at bottom of one grip panel, fixed with CA and barely visible. (Pictured)

I'll have another available from a 2013 mid frame available within a week. Same basic frame, same price. It has the black plastic checkered factory grips.

I don't have a Wrangler but I do own a blued steel Single-six. I stripped the black paint off of the grip frame with just paint remover and some metal polish to make the grip frame a high gloss finish. The grip frame now looks very nice. My only surprise when I did this was there were some minor blemishes in the metal that I did not expect to find. The original paint or powder coat was very smooth but there was some irregularities in the surface of the grip frames under the paint. I also have had no tarnishing of the aluminum since I did the re-finish. Now, what the polished metal grip frame would look like on a Wrangler I do not know.

I am totally cornfused with this thread. If a Wrangler grip frame does not meet one's requirements, rather than spending megabucks to modify the gun, why not simply buy a Single Six.

And second, modifying a Heritage also seems counter intuitive.
