Qualite,,, and the later production;
MK Enterprises, aka
Milt & Karen Morrison made the Birdshead in both NM & OM,
AND,,,
XR3-RED that could be converted to Birdshead.
Even offered with grips included, ivory like material.
FYI: No longer manufacturing BGF, it's been over 10+ years.
Power Custom /Grand Masters offered a 2 piece (XR3/Colt size) and towards the end of production changed up the back strap a tad to allow it to be cut to a Birdshead. Here is a picture of it,,, and it's available, as I went in a different direction. I have been hanging on to it for a possible future project, I'm trying to stop "future projects",,,
The line on it was put on by myself, tracing a Ruger Birdshead Grip Panel. Very high quality part.
$275 shipped
You can see a picture of the differences in the Qualite/MK at the bottom of the following linked thread. Those pictured are OM but I assure you they also made em in NM,, I have one or 2,,,
I am thinking of changing out the birdshead grip frame for a regular sized grip frame. Has anyone done this? If so what frame did you use?

And as mentioned RW Gripframes / Ronnie Wells, currently makes some really nice quality parts in both NM & OM.
