Niiiiiice ExclamationBig Grin Bet that makes a statement when the cap goes off Tongue I had some antique 'tru ivory' Barrs grips on a pair of blued USFA single actions a few years back. They certainly looked the part. Looking good Pacecars Smile

Thanks. The factory grips fi like crap and I tried some plastic Ivory looking grips that cracked after a few shots. I like the way Holly mimics the looks of Ivory and ages like it too. Recoil is not too with the loads I am shooting. I am loading a hard cast 400 gr bullet from a Lee mold at 900 - 1000 FPS. It goes through deer and hogs and takes bones with it. Haven't recovered one yet from any angle.

Nicely done! They look great.

I like the Bisley too.
