 A little overdue for showing off these, here is my 2nd set of Roper style stocks made by you know who. I didn't shoot a profile of them but they feature a Coke style palm swell for a better feel. The package was delivered literally as I was backing out of the driveway to go off on my moose hunt, and I never opened the box until after I was already a few days into moose camp. They are a perfect match in every spec to the grips he carved for my 1937 .357 magnum:  Geoff. Since 1960. -NRA member- "Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again: Functional art is almost too good to be true!
I'm envious....those are marvelous grips!  MikeyL SWCA #2010 |

You've got some beautiful wood in those grips. Keith is a master at what he does with the wood, Larry.

Geoff,
Makes me think, I should really switch my set to the K-22 Outdoorsman, rather than the Model 53....   all these tough choices.... terry NRA certified instructor/Life Member IWLA life member SASS, USPSA S&WCA #1963 |

Terry, I bought my Outdoorsman to shoot, a lot, and the factory grips just don't fit. I don't own a 'Jet, but I'd bet as far as shooting goes, your Outdoorsman gets a lot more action than the other one.
To me its a no brainer as to which gun I'd put the grips on.Geoff. Since 1960. -NRA member- "Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter.

Geoff,
It may sound remarkable, but I put the grips on my Model 53 because I have a friend of mine who grew up shooting a 53 and loves them...I have every barrel length and he shoots the 8.7"...We shoot the 53's more than the Outdoorsman, PRECISELY WHY I put them on MY 53 to begin with. (my point of responding was that these grips LOOK more period and better on the .22) There are not a lot of us out there that shoot the 53's regularly, but I am far from the norm. I handload and have great accuracy and lots of fun with the BLAST at the range. When my buddy and I are side-by-side it is a veritable "light show".. I trust you have seen this before....  Happy New Year Terry NRA certified instructor/Life Member IWLA life member SASS, USPSA S&WCA #1963 |
