I have dealt with these folks and the lady is OK to work with. I had her create a new color to mock the "red Swiss" grips' color, for my 29/70 Mauser. The grips they sell are cast from examples sent to them, so as good in appearance as what was copied. The urethane they're cast from is fairly rugged, but need to be treated as well as wooden ones as they will marr and flatten, too. They might need a touch of fitting, as mine did.
