Where can I get good replica grips?

[Sky Zero]

Hey guys,

Does anybody have a few trustworthy websites with some reproduction grips? The current 'black widow' grips I have are a bit loose on my luger and it's getting annoying, so I figured I'd pack those ones up and get some replicas to shoot with. I need some screws too (not sure if t he grips are just too worn or the screws are too worn)

thanks!

are these repos? It says it was made for the ss so I'm a little bit suspicious of this website.

You might try some E German VOPO grips for shooting. They work well for me..

If your grips are just loose, use a bit of hot glue, it is not permanent, but makes a nice rubber like seal.
OR you could use a rubber O ring under the grip or screw and it will tighten them.

I pick up grips and parts when I can, and some fit well and some don't.

Even a very thin (just a sliver) piece of wood will make them tight.

Great idea! Thats the kind of nugget of info I keep checking in for, I have to try a bit on mine before its next trip out.

I heard it from another member - I really should ask for and request more things for the FAQ

Oh an o-ring! Wow what a great idea! Geez maybe I'll just try that haha.

Any info on that site I posted, though? They seem nice enough (if the sliver of wood Cap black suggested doesn't work nor the o-ring.)

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.

Those o-rings worked like a CHARM! Thanks again for that idea!
