Looking for custom grips
« on: November 28, 2005, 03:55:55 AM »
I'm new to the whole TC scene. Can anyone point me in the direction of suppliers for custom laminate grips and fore arms for contenders. I guess you would call them target grips and a wide forearm compatible with a bipod is what i'm looking for. Can ya'll help me?

Check out www.gunstocksinc.com, I believe they're a sponsor here.  Another place would be Ol' Georgia Jim, I don't have a website memorized, but you could google his site.

Thanks for the links. I really like the Georgia Jims grips. I think the original Jim grip will do very nicely. About how wide would you get the target forearm made. I'm thinking around 3" wide. Does that sound about right?

I use the Denzel Roberts grips and love them.  I have the recoil tamer model.  He has a couple of different forend styles to choose from.

Check out his website:

Forend is about 2 1/4" wide.  He can do them as wide as you want but it will cost you extra to exceed 2 1/4" as it eats into the next blank.  Check out the website for details and Jim's email address.  He's always responded to my emails rather quickly.  Easy to work with too.  I had him cut my target forend back so that I could use it with 10" barrels - bottom of forend is even with muzzle.
