    FWB 65 right hand walnut grip wanted

    Any ideas where I might track one of these down for my new classic pistol? The one it arrived with has a quite tatty home made version, and the one Jonsey gave me to try is the wrong internal shape. Presumably my gun must be a later version with the square grip frame, as the Jonsey grip has a curved internal profile.
    If you could fire me in the direction of somebody who has one knocking about that would be great.
    Thanks folks!

    IIRC a FWB 80 grip will also fit.

    Sounds like you have an FWB 80 not a 65, Andy? AFAIK all 65 grips are interchangeable across the range whereas the 80 grip is different.

    No guys, its definitely a 65. Maybe the grip Ian gave me to try is for an 80?

    You should be able to see easily in the cutout - the mod 80 has a short strap(?) with a rounded base that the grips screw into, whereas the 65 one is nearer the length of a traditional grip

    I hope it is as these are far more expensive. At least 5 brews.

    It would be a right hand large I would imagine, although I am sure my mitt would fit into a medium!
