Default round to square magnas?

Aesthetically speaking i think a short barrel N frame needs to sport square magnas and a tyler t. Unfortunately the 3" 24-3 has a round butt.

Does anyone know of a round to square conversion magna/classic wood grip? I've been googling with no luck. Also have a thread in WTB but as comments are not allowed in the classifieds i figured I'd try to get some here.

I don't believe commercially made stocks as you describe exist; Target stocks that cover the entire grip frame and then some, yes.

s.d. - put the sq butt magnas on your 24 anyways. You can now fabricate a wedge piece of wood for the lower backstrap to fill the void. It is not a very hard project.

Try Altamont. Their grips are decent at a good price. They have a couple of styles that may work for you. I have a set of round to square targets for my 625. Bob

You can create your own if you like. These are on a RB Mod 24-3, I acquired the RB to SB finger groove grips from Kelly's, and cut about 1/4" off the bottom, then sanded nearly all the finger groove off the grips. They fit my hand well, and carry pretty well.

H Richard has the right idea. The 3" 24-3 in this picture has a set of the old Ace round to square butt conversion grips that I cut down into a semi-boot grip. They now conceal very well and fit my hand perfectly.

Thanks for the ideas guys, but as i said in the OP i am looking for maga style grips that will work with a Tyler. I do like the idea of making a wedge to fill the space left from the round butt.

A friend has some pieces of walnut that have been waiting a worthy cause and he agrees this might be it, so I think I'll try to fabricate a set like I'm looking for.

Any info on building custom grips would be appreciated

You are correct but the OP wants to use a Tyler T.
Once a #4 is installed, it's not really a big issue on the front strap.
