Doug G. · 12-08-2005, 10:16 AM

I would be interested in one set, how much do we need to buy to get the discount?....thanks

Doug G. · 12-08-2005, 10:35 AM

Well, here is their discount structure:
Primary dealer -$5000
Master dealer -$2500
Stocking dealer- $1000
non-stocking dealer -$500

Discounts range from 5-20% off retail. Obviously the more we order the better the deal. Also keep in mind that they make a wide range of grips including target grips.

Freischütz · 12-08-2005, 11:16 PM

I too would be interested.

However I suggest you go to Park Cities Tactical, and check the group buy experience with Mactech.

I believe this will take you to the saga:

Sieger · 12-08-2005, 11:46 PM

Hi:

I'm in for 2 sets.

The grips fit properly, but the checkering is too course. These are the best replacement grips I've seen to date.

Sieger

Doug G. · 12-14-2005, 10:12 PM

Ok, I was called again today by Nill. They offered me a first time order discount of 15%. The checkered P08 grips will be $90 -15%=$76.50. Smooth un checkered grips are $76 -15%=$64.6 per pair. They did not mention what the shipping cost will be, but I will divide it up by the number of grips you order. Of course there will be the postage to you, which should not be much. Here is what I have so far:

Hugh Clark-- 20 pair smooth
Sieger-- 2 pair checkered
FreischÃ?Â¼tz--1 smooth, 1 pair HK PSP grips.
Chuckc--2 pair checkered

sambuscemi · 12-14-2005, 10:20 PM

Doug: What is your selling price per pair of checkered and smooth you are selling. I am a bit confused. You state the retail price is $75 and then you say the discounted price is $76.50????? Not sure what you mean. Can you tell me again ('cause I ain't too bright) what your selling price to me would be for two pairs of checkered and one pair of smooth. Thank you.

Doug G. · 12-14-2005, 10:27 PM

Sam, the price for one pair of checkered grips is $76.5 plus shipping. The cost for one pair of smooth grips is $64.60. So $217.60 plus shipping for 2 checkered and 1 smooth.

NOTE: You can order ANY Nill grips and still receive 15% off. I bought a set for my Benelli M90 target pistol a few years back. Made a huge difference in the feel of the gun.

Freischütz · 12-19-2005, 12:42 AM

Hello -

I'll take 1 set of uncheckered P.08 grips and one set of HK0258.

Tim · 12-19-2005, 04:49 PM

Doug,
I'll take 2 sets of the checkered grips. Let me know when/where to send a check.
Tim

Ponyman · 12-23-2005, 05:26 PM

Put me in for one pair of P08 checkered. Is there a finished/unfinished option?

Is there an on-line catalog of other available grips? If he has a grip and forearm for my
1867 .50 cal Remington "Navy" (anchor-proofed) Rolling Block, I'll kiss his feet.

Will you post a closing date for placing orders?

Doug G. · 12-28-2005, 03:34 PM

I am going to have a cut off date to order the grips. It will be January 31st. I already have enough to make a good order. Please email or send me a PM with what you want.

PS Mods, could you pin this until the 31st?

Edward Tinker · 12-28-2005, 06:11 PM

Doug, you are right, should have stuck it at the beginning, my apoligies. It is now stuck at the top.

Put me down for one checkered and one smooth set.
Address to send money?

I suggest you take money in advance prior to final order, it is easy for folks to not come up with the $150 + - when asked

Ed

Ponyman · 12-28-2005, 10:06 PM

I hate to sound like an idiot by repeating myself (:-) but...
Is there an on-line catalog of other available (Nill) grips?

Snakeman · 12-28-2005, 10:28 PM

Yes there is: http://www.nill-griffe.de . This the home site for Nill grips.

Ponyman · 12-29-2005, 09:55 AM

Pete, Thanks!

Doug, I didn't find ANY info at Nill's site regarding P08 grips. My Deutch is quite rusty, but I think the product finder said there was an SQL error - perhaps meaning "I couldn't find that."

Can you give us a bit more info about what is being offered - material, any surface options other than smooth/checkered, etc?

~Dave

Snakeman · 12-29-2005, 11:12 AM

Hi Dave,
When you enter the nill-griffe site, click on "international", then on "products" on the left hand side of the page, then on "price list" (if you try using the "product finder", you will get zilch), scroll down about a third of the way down and you will find two different models listed under "no finger grooves, no thumb rest" as "Mauser Luger 08 (until yearÃ?Â´45). the two models are: MA051 in nussbaum, std geoelt at 58 euros and MA057 in walnut, hand checkered at 69 euros. You would have to contact them directly (there is a link provided) to find out if they have these grips in stock at the present time. good luck and a Happy New Year to all. Pete

Ponyman · 12-31-2005, 12:01 AM

OK, found that. "Walnut, hand checkered" sounds like it could be the first option Doug offered at the top of this thread. Is "Nussbaum,standard geoelt" German for "Walnut, Smooth, Oiled"?

Snakeman · 12-31-2005, 01:13 AM

As that model is so light in color, I think that it is made out of hickory, so the translation would be: Hickory, stock, oiled (the word "nussbaum" can mean both hickory and walnut).

CFH · 12-31-2005, 10:56 AM

Here are the pics:

Put me in for one set of checkered grips, please.
