custom contender grips
« on: March 05, 2008, 05:33:19 PM »
What sources are there for custom Contender grips and forends? I've been looking at some of Georgia Jim's offerings and was just wondering what else is out there.

Georgia Jim makes some very nice grip sets. I have several purchased semi finished and did my own finish.



Otters Custom Stocks does fantastic work with semi and fancy wood. The finish done myself.



OTT LLC also makes a very nice grip.

One of the Bullberry Barrel Works sets made for me by Justin Sip back when he worked for Fred.   

Exhibition grade Screw-bean Mesquite and Birdseye Maple.    Wood was from Fred's private stash and is way brighter/richer colored and with way more stark dark grain contrast than this poor quality picture from an early crappy digital camera shows.   He has always had a picture of it on his web site (currently on the home page), but it too is very washed out against the red rock of southern UT.    Forend is 12" barrel length - grip fitted to my hand since I lived near the shop then.

Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus

I have a grip and BR forend from Denzel Roberts that I really like.  It's made for a Bower rest (wide forend and target grip).  Affordable too.  He's getting up there in years, but still does very nice work.
