Some of you may recall I cast a few air pistol grips just as abit of an offshoot hobby. I think I posted an example of the A&S Warrior grips that I made.
I recently bought an Acvoke pistol on here from jjjjjj (sorry Steve can’t remember how many ‘j’s) and it is s very nice example with very crisp grips,ideal for taking a mould from. I wasn’t sure if the Acvoke grips ever break but it came to light that Ccdjg has an Acvoke without grips so I took the plunge. Materials were ordered and I made a start with the mould on there arrival.
The mould went well with no defects so I have turned out a few pairs of grips,first pair is always abit of trial and error and they were alittle light in colour but I could adjust for that so all good from there on.
Once out there is some work to do on the rear of the grips,light sanding,locating holes,fixing nut etc (they don’t bolt straight through)
Ccdjg has kindly offered to add a couple of photos for me in due course (Thankyou)

Yes. I have a project gun with no grips. It would be nice to get it in full working order again.

I too have a need for a pair of these if there's one to spare.
Have you a price in mind?

Leave it with me Mick,tbh I’ve never made any grips to sell. Originally I did it for my own projects and then I’ve swopped a few to help fellow tinkerers out etc. I haven’t ever given prices a thought.

What resin did you use for casting Phil? I’ve used Polyurethane in the past but got lots of bubbles as I didn’t have a vacuum chamber.

If I don’t reply to your comments it’s probably because you’re on my Ignore list.

Yes I use a 2 part polyurethane resin,I don’t use a vacuum chamber but with care I’ve not had a problem tbh. I broke some grips into pieces when I first started to see if there were air bubbles but they were ok.

I was just hoping to save what has possibly been a donor without creating another wreck.
Give it chance and you might become the next Dyson!
