Smile Keith Brown--Master Stockmaker (pix heavy)

I thought it time to show off some (most!) of Keith's stocks which currently reside on my guns--and throw in a few original Ropers for the heck of it.

So...without further ado--

A set of Birdseye Maple on a 624:



A Pre-18:



An older Centennial:



A 27-2 with an ivory sight insert:



A 25-5 6 1/2" .45:



Another Pre-18:



A Pre-17:



A Model 26-1 Overrun:



A Model 29-2 6 1/2":



A Model 24-3:



A Model 25-2 Dual Cylinder:



Another 27-2 5":



A Bowen .45 Colt Conversion:



An Engraved Pre-24 in .44 Spl.:



Original Ropers on my Officer's in .22 Magnum:



Original Ropers on my OMT in .22 LR:



Original Ropers on my very early Pre-18:


I hope you enjoyed seeing these pictures, and a big homage to Keith's skill!

Tim

Very very nice grips. Wait until Weatherby sees these. I really like the pair with the medallions in them.The 29-2 Its a nice look.

I didn't realize KB did different styles of in-letting around the ejector area. Did you request it or did they just come that way?

Default Keith Brown Stocks, Better than the originals!

The preceding photographs substantiate what I have said all along, Keith Brown Stocks are much better than the originals no matter who made them! Always perfect!!

Nice! Is there a reason or explanation for the uncheckered pattern? I've always wondered why it was the shape that it is.

The uncheckered wood, an exotic, was too hard to checker!

I'm working on my 4th set. No wonder why it takes so long to get a set made, looks like you have a continuos order going. Beautiful grips you have, almost collectable by themselves. Larry

A true craftsman.
Love Keiths work.
Here's a pair of his Hide-out Ropers on my 3" 66
Presentation Grade English Walnut.
Enjoy
