    Where can I get some wood grips for my Tempest?

    I saw these and fancy some for mine, does anyone know of a person or company making them or should I make my own?

    Like these?

    Hi John,

    Thats great, thanks for that. I just looked at the pics and they are just what I am looking for. What does he charge for them?

    grip costs

    Price depends on the wood used

    Zebrano or nice walnut are the most expensive at £37
    One of the photos that I sent you showed an older steel Webley with Zebrano grips
    For Mahogany,Yew and plainer Walnut, they start at about £22

    Beeman still sell the "combat" grips for the Tempest/Hurricane over here. With the exchange rate favouring the Pound, even with postage you should be able to get them for a good price. www.pyramydair.com sell them for $38.95.

    That's codswallop! Why they can't send it US Post Office airmail with insurance is beyond me, I send gifts back to the UK all the time using the post office. You should ask them why.

    grips

    The ones on ##### are Petes
    He will have several sets at the Airgun Fayre on 14th September
    in Zebrano, Walnut and Sepealli(forgive spelling).

    The ones on fleabay were made as a copy of the original plastic ones using a copy carver.He also makes them for the Nemesis, early steel Webleys and HW45's
