Looking for some ivory grips...
...not real ivory but does anyone know where one could purchase some good quality bonded ivory or ivory Micarta grips for a N-frame round butt...with medallions.
I have checked with Spressor Knife works who I have gotten many sets of grips from but he says he can't find any material of the correct size to make them...

Thanks Iggy... I should have thought of them as I have a set on a UFSFA Flat Top .22...beautiful but expensive.
Collins was my next stop...thanks ditrina.
There used to be lots of these on eBay but there is hardly anything left.

Collins said he can do them in Corian but also can't get Micarta the correct size...

You may find the real thing is not much more expensive because the custom work is the same for real or faux.
Check out Alaska Gifts Fur Hat Slippers Coats Jewelry Eskimo
On menu at the left side; click on the "bulk" for material pieces large & small.

Check these two sites, they should be able to get you the material. The problem most grip and knife makers run into is that you need to buy $300 minimum for each size of Micarta you want to order to get the wholesale price.
