    Out of curiousity/Webley grips

    Just out of curiousity, I wonder wheter anybody else liked the stype of the grips that Andy (Airgunner.177) made for the "Frankenpistol"

    Bear in mind they were done roughly from a description and I did try to "Ugly them up" in keeping with the style of the gun. But the basic style and in a better colour?

    Got his grips on all my Wobbleys, very nice.

    On the Frankenpistol, they look to be a bit close to the trigger guard for my liking, but that's just looking at the pics. Could be different in real life, if you know what I mean.

    Good effort on the Premier grips, I do like the graining/markings of the wood.

    Love that pistol ggggr - right up my street.

    Here are mine, nearly ten years on they have a lovely colour - I can honestly say they improve the handling of what is a pretty violent and clunky thing to shoot an enormous amount - making them 'ergonomic' gives such a lovely feel in the hand.

    More pics and details:
