Acvoke grips (casting)

[Bjacobs571]

If they are available I would like a pair as mine has some home made wooden grips.

Leave that thought with me

Having had a fair amount (relatively speaking) of requests for the Acvoke grips here and elsewhere, I think it might be nice to make a few pairs. I’ve never made any to sell and that was never my intention when I initially set out I’ve just made grips for myself and friends and swopped a few etc. They are very time consuming so I won’t be doing many so with respect if you don’t have an Acvoke please don’t buy any and I mean that in the nicest way. Those that asked first will be given first refusal and I will be in touch.
Please note that although the front of the grips is identical I purposely make no attempt to make the rear look authentic,I have no wish to deceive anyone present or future. As Ccdjg’s were the first I finished them completely with the locating holes to the rear being matched up with my Acvoke however as John pointed out there must have been slight variations originally with the pistols themselves so would those interested be happy with making their own locating holes? (Easy to do with a dremel or even carefully with a drill) and of course the fixing nut which I think most people would want to fit from their original damaged grips perhaps. Atb Phil

What a great job you've made of those Acvoke grips, Phil. I remember buying a Webley straight grip Senior on here with Junior grips fitted and eventually got a set of replacement Senior grips on the auction site. Until I got them it was constantly on my mind, nagging me something rotten that the pistol was incomplete, like an itch I couldn't scratch.

I've just seen the pics. For some reason I was not getting email updates. Suddenly they are appearing again today. Super job!

Yes, I would be happy to drill the locating holes myself.

I don't suppose you have a mold for a Webley target model? Mine are chipped in both corners but the pistol is immaculate.

All the best,
Jimmie

Thanks Jimmie,yes I have also made a mould for the Webley straight grips that fit the Senior and Target, they actually fit the Mk1 as well that has the wood grips.

Thanks and yes I’m just the same when I have a project where it requires parts. I guess that’s partly the reason I started making grips in the first place,that and the crazy prices they often command on the bay, people would bid so strongly I was never able to compete.
I have spent most of the day on them and I have a total of x7 pairs made. I still have a few more hours on them flating off the rear sides but it’s a good start.
Funnily enough I also make the Webley straight grips you mentioned,bit late of course
