1917 grips

[target tech]

I was wondering if anyone made reproduction
prewar magnas. I know about the place in, I think, NC that is selling 1917 grips. I already have a realativly nice set of original commercial grips. I'm looking for something a little more comfortable, but still aesthetically pleasing.....And doesn't cost $400.00....for originals.

Any help would be appriciated....Thanks

It isn't much, but it is all I have that belongs on this side.

Nice looking vintage gun. If you want the shooting comfort of magna's, why not just use a set of post war magna's?

"modern magnas" won't fit a 1917 will they?

I remember my dad "opening up" a pair of N frame targets for a ....little or nothing invested..... project gun he built.

It was a 1917 frame, a 1955 barrel, a cylinder from a Canadian .455 - .45 colt. The only thing he bought was a few internals. Almost everything was donated from different friends junk boxes.

It ain't pretty, and he won't shoot anything but cowboy loads out of it, but it killed a Western PA winter.

You can use any N frame grips, stocks if you prefer.

You may have to tweak the pin holes at the bottom, but they will fit.

fleabay usually has some for decent prices. If not, check Hogue's bargain basement sale. www.getgrip.com

Thanks, for some reason I thought that a 1917 has a slightly different grip frame than a modern N frame.

There is a MWCA show this weekend in St. Paul. I should be able to find something.

There have been some repros listed in the Shotgun News, a magazine that lists guns and related equipment for sale. The price was around $40. When I contacted then they were out. Even so, SOMEBODY is making them. I'm looking also, so if I locate a source I'll let you know.
