Looking forward to seeing them Phil.
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)
Atb,Phil.
Looking forward to seeing them Phil.
I may be interested in a pair should you make more.
I’m struggling with photos even with ccdjg’s help
I can on a good day send emails so would anyone be kind enough to add the photos to this thread if I sent them please? Atb Phil
Here they are Phil:

I think we all have to agree that Phil has achieved a fantastic result,
Thanks John I appreciate you adding them for me
As you can see they are all finished and post/snow allowing should be with you this week

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

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.
