I finally came across my first set of N-frame John Hurst stocks. I've gone through a fair share of 'mystery' stocks - Ropers, Hursts, and Farrants trying to track down N-frame sets but many were K-frames. I feel very lucky to have found this set, as I've owned 3 prior sets of Hursts and sold all three hoping for a set of N's. I really like the shape and look of Hurst's work in relation to his contemporaries, the palm swell and contour is pretty amazing... still planning on putting together a thread of photos/descriptions/characteristics of his work... but you guys will have to wait a little longer! You guys out West seem to own all of Cloyce's stocks.
Smith Wesson K / L frame Custom made grips in excellent condition. I believe these were crafted by Guy Hogue and resemble his early work, 2-piece construction, contoured palm swell, and detailed checkering pattern. Early custom grips are scarcely found let alone S&W K/L round-butt frames.
