Show your Roper grips

[Modified]

Friend of mine reproduced the correct screw for these (they came with none) so I can use them now.

Kind of fun, these wacky trigger stop Ropers were built for pre-war long action guns. They make for very very interesting SA shooting on a gun that they were calibrated for (of which I only have one that works exactly right). I put them on my K22/40 with it's a pre-war Long action and I think they may stay here. They fit my hand great with a lot of right hand palm swell, but the trigger stop stuff is kind of annoying. On this gun its very nice though as it's not so precise as to get in the way.

Looks like a nice fit to e Caleb.

These got delivered in yesterday's mail. sorry if anyone here was bidding on them. The auction pics didn't show any screws and when I asked the seller he told me they were already packed up but he thought there was only one screw for the whole lot. Well, I got lucky and that one screw was in this set. The thumb-rest is pretty neat, just enough your thumb to rest comfortably on with no extra room. Looks like these were originally made for serial # 49194, either an actual .44 or they just marked "44" for the frame size. I have another set or two that are marked 44.

Not a S&W, but what do you guys think of this old Remington Rolling Block? I was told that the frame was modified for the grips which were quite nice. I found it in a hole-in-the-wall pawn shop and am trying to negotiate a price.

Mark, that is a neat gun. I love it. I am not sure as to a value but unless were talking crazy money I'd probably be buying it.

unless were talking crazy money I'd "DEFINATELY" be buying it.

FIFY

Modified frame is a typical Roper trait. If you don't want that pistol, let me know, and I don't collect Remington.

I agree. It's chambered in 22LR, so it'd be a lot of fun as a shooter. The shop is reluctant to price it and per State law cannot sell a used gun for 30 days (to insure it's not stolen) so we'll see how this goes. I am trying to pry it out of their hands without indicating it's anything too special. I know there is something goofy going on with the front sight, but am far from knowledgeable on Remington handguns. I just want it for the grips

Well I'm glad they went to a good home

Here's Some Wierd Ones

I have had this "lefty target round to square" set for a few years. Not sure what they belong to - too big for a K-frame RB. Maybe a No 3 break top???

What do you think?

Sal and Richard.......that made one very nice combination right there.

Made them both shine a lot brighter

Did You refinish the Stocks? They look much more glossy than in Richard's Pictures.

They were pretty shiny when I got them (I thought that someone who owned them before me may have put an additional coat of finish on them and told Sal the same prior to me sending them his direction). Looking at the photos I posted - you're right - I don't know how come they did not show the shine when I photo'd them? The photos were a bit dark when I photo'd them and I had to increase the exposure a bit - that may have washed out the shine???

 

[05CarbonDRZ]

Could be,They look Night and Day different to me.Maybe Sal had them oiled in the Pictures he took? Are You a Lefty Sal?

I think this belongs here, even if it isn't a S&W













I believe that Roper had more to do with the gun then just the stocks.

They are actually the same ones. When I got this roper sighted gun it had the wrong stocks on it, just bad, didn't fit well. The only thing appropriate I had sitting around were these.
