    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.

    Mine arrived today. The packaging should have told me all I needed to know (my wrapping always looks as if it was done by a remedial infant class, before their nap).

    However I thought I'd better just check although my grip-less Acvoke won't hit the UK until about Jan. 12th.
    Perfect barely does them justice. It can't come soon enough. I have a complete example so I can source the right screw.

    Thanks, Phil.

    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
