Welcome to the forum.

I've got used from forum member jussbad and new from member Sak Peterson. Both great guys to deal with. Check the classifieds.

Patrick Grashorn lives close to me so I had him make my stag grips and I am not sorry. He is a hoot to visit with, knows his stuff and does beautiful work.

Patrick has made at least 8 sets of elk grips for me in the past and I've been completely satisfied with everyone. Before he sends them out to you he sends you an e-mail with pictures of them for your approval. I've always had my grips in my hand within one week of him getting payment.

Ditto for Patrick. Be sure to be specific in what you want and you WILL get it.

I've several sets of matching grips for my pythons, wife's vaqueros, etc.

Guess it depends on whether you want elk antler grips or real "stag".

thanx guys.do i need to send my grips or are they all pretty much the same.?

I've had Ruger and S&W grips made without sending in my grip frame and have had very good luck. At times a little sanding was needed but overal very close. For Colt SAA grips he likes the frame sent in. Heres a set on a Colt New Frontier he just made me and I had him leave the screw assembly out and I glued them up into 1 pc.

Here's a set of Patrick's stocks made to fit the XR-3 grip frame I sent to him.

The feel as good as they look.

Sorry to hijack the thread but can you tell me about your knife ftlupton? I have one similar to yours except I broke the tip off throwing it at an oak tree 50 years ago. I thought I was Jim Bowie sticking his in a door at the beginning of his shows.

 

[ftlupton]

Yep, knife is an Edge brand made in Solingen, Germany. I have two of them identical and they have skinned many deer, antelope and a couple of elk, forgot how many fish. They are great old knives, have had them for more years than I care to remember. Still sharp as a razor and beautiful, at least in my eyes.

Dave T, nice looking gun.

Thanks REP. It started life as a 6.5" Flat-top 44 Blackhawk that I bought used. It had some issues and when I got this one:

earlier this summer I decided to do what Ruger should have done back in the late 1950s and early 1960s, which is to offer a 4-5/8" 44 Blackhawk. For being only lightly customized it turned out even better than I expected. The Grashorn elk stocks just enhanced the result.

I have five sets of elk stag grips from stag-grips.com..William Jennings in Buffalo WY...on gunbroker. I drive past on my way to the Quigley Rifle Shoot in Montana every summer....got to stop and visit and see what he has for the VAQUERO I have with me "just in case he has a set of grips I like." First time was tough...he had two matching sets for BISLEYS and a set for a DRAGOON grip frame for the VAQUEROS I had brought along....four years ago and no problem with the grips so far.

Pat Grashorn makes fine grips and is easy to deal with. fair price also.
