SPARE GRIPS FOR M83 ANYBODY?

[WL44]

Please let me know if you have a spare set you are willing to part with. Either micarta or wood please.

I'm in South Africa and shipping my FA to have them fitted by the factory is unfortunately out of the question. Maybe if Mr Baker is listening he'll take pity on me and agree to sell a pair that aren't fitted to my frame  . I understand that they don't want their product out there with ill fitting grips and pursuit of perfection is the reason, but I'm sort of over a barrel here.

Thanks for any help.

You might check with Steve Herrett to see if he can help you out.  I have seen some of his grips on FAs.
Do a google search for "Herrett Stocks" or "Herrett Grips".  He is in Twin Falls Idaho and his stocks are really nice.

I will have a set of the dark red wood grips from an 83 very shortly if you are not in too big a hurry.  Probably in my hands in the next few weeks.  They come from a Premier that I'm having fit with tan micarta grips at FA. They are in new condition and I'll sell them for $115 shipped insured to you.  That is 1/2 the factory price.

I also have a set of black micarta grips off of another Premier 83.  They are also 1/2 the factory price, $140 shipped and insured.  

If interested in either just drop me a note on email.

Both pair of grips are spoken for pending receipt of funds.

WL44,
Just notified my FA 83 is done.  I should have the grips ready for you by the end of next week.

Thanks Keith.

Thanks again for the advice Steve.

Not to get my personal communications here filling up the board, but it's worth saying again that this is not only a great place to learn (which I hope to do as long as the good Lord keeps me here), but also a great place to find someone who can help you, if you need something that you are battling to find.

Thanks Graybeard.
