Default Grip makers.

I have a beautiful back half of a Weatherby stock and think it would make some nice grips. Does anyone know of folks who makes grips? Or some one who can fit blanks to both K and N frames so I could finish the grips. Thanks.

Keith Brown (bis45 on the forum) is one of the best stocks makers. I would contact him. See his work at www.classiccarvedgrips.com

I'm not the only person here who has several sets of KB stocks. There are many folks who make great stocks, but dollar for dollar and waiting time Keith does exceptional work. You would not be disappointed. He's becoming more reknown as he get mentioned in the mags like American Handgunner, etc. For a long time he was our "best kept secret".

I will mention one thing though, When you try to trace your right hand with your left (assuming you're right handed) you'll most likely feel kinda "stoopid" like I did the first 3 or 4 times I tried to do it to send him the paper template for proper fitting.

Best,
David

Thanks for the early warning on tracing with the left hand. I was born left handed but it was disciplined out of me. If I pick up a pen with my left hand I still flinch a little. :-)

Ahrends Grips will make any grip style they offer from your wood.

Here's one I had him make from Amboyna Burl:
