Cracking RH grip...

I hope Zorba doesn't mind his thread beeing jacked?

Numrich? Had good and BAD experience with them over the years. Some good Mauser (Yugo M48, Spanish "La Coruna"), and some good M1/M2 Carbine parts I purchased from them. Latest purchase was a TOTAL disappointment. Wanted a set of "shooting grips" for my Erfurt, and after a LONG deliberation, decided on wood repros. From Numrich. "Laser cut". My foot!!! Laser must've been WAAAAY off!

I expected "some fitting", but.......oversize grips CAN be fitted (and I'm pretty good at that!), but UNDERSIZED are a total loss! I was so discusted, I didn't even bother to send them back. GARBAGE.

Plastic repros just look too cheap, and I would not insult my Imperial Parabellum with anything looking CHEAP. I was on the fence about faux stag for a while, but faux is just that,....faux.

Anyone knows somebody that MAKES custom wood grips to order? (like in the perfect world,......wax imprint of the frame shipped to the master wood worker, and he makes the pair to the EXACT dimensions?)

I've seen pics of some NICE repros fitted, and they had all kinds of designs, and other stuff carved into them. Where do people find those? Money is no object.
