O Wise Ones:
I just bought a project 44 Russian DA. One of the problems is that one of the rubber grips is broken, with a couple of pieces missing. Is there anything that can be used to fill in the missing rubber? Is their anyone that repairs rubber grips? The gun is not worth buying a pair of original grips, and I would rather patch up the old grips before buying reproduction grips. Any advise would be helpful!

Contact Don Furr at [email protected] He has repaired several sets of grips for me and his work is excellent. Last time he did work for me he charged $35 flat rate per grip, plus shipping.

Don Furr does great work, but I think the fire wall on his computer shoots down every attempt to contack him via the email posted above. Call him - his phone number is (714)754-6742 - eves & weekends only, as he works at his real job days and repairing grips is a hobby avocation.

Thanks,
Does he match up the color, the checking and/or worn checkering?

I've sent him HR grips for various antiques guns and I can't tell that they are repaired when grips when i get them back. They look like new. Some were in 3 or 4 pieces and missing pieces, but they come back perfect. He can also repair the mottled red/black S&W grips. Ed.
