Default Ahrends out of business...now what stock maker?

Since Kim Ahrends has gone out of business, who makes a similar product? I like the Cordia Stocks and have them on several N-Frames. This example is on my .45 Colt Mountain Gun.



Any suggestions for a similar manufacturer?

Altamont?
I read that Herrett's is gone now, too.

Keith Brown is superb,but pricey.

That guy in Thailand has a good rep, but I can't recall his name.

Nills are nice, but probably the for sale ads here and on various auction sites might provide what you want.

Edit: My bad, Culina of course.

I like Culina's but I understand not everyone can or wants to spend that much.

I have recently bought 2 set of trips from Altamont and I am very pleased with them. High quality.

Craig Spegel hand makes all his grips. He’s not inexpensive, and he has a long waiting list, but he puts out a great product.

If you are in the immediate market for some Ahrends grips, Top Gun Supply has a few varieties in stock. And Gripseller on eBay has some for sale, but she jacked the prices up to $120 and $140 on them.
