I also believe Keith Brown might work on them.

Ask Marvin Huey, the custom case maker. He is getting up there in years but he's still building custom cases and loves Ropers and old S&W factory stocks. Tell him, Sal Raimondi, referred you. I recently sold Marvin 3 sets of stocks that needed minor repairs.

DWFAN has done some great repairs, Keith Brown is way too busy and I doubt if he repairs grips. He makes new grips, Larry

Another shout out for DWFAN. He repaired and revitalized a nice set of "cokes" for me. He is a wood wizard in my experience.

There is no need to "keep them coming". Once you've learned of "DWFAN", you know all there is to know.
I don't know if the search function would help or not, but every now and again, a satisfied customer will favor us with an experience they rank right up there with the second coming of Christ. They are of the obsessive compulsive variety, in that they have pictures of the before and after variety. Suffice it to say the difference is beyond belief. And suffice it to say you know you're witnessing greatness.
DWFAN's reaction to all such goes along these lines: Aw shucks-----t'aint nuthin' to it.
