Kind of hard to see but these below are fancy factory walnuts on a Ruger 357 Flattop. Really stunning when in the hand. A favorite 44 Special Ruger with Calgary high school woodshop recovery walnut. An OMSBH 44 Mag from a chunk of dense walnut I bought off ebay. Another favorite 44 Special Ruger with mild walnut. A 38 WCF Flattop with amboyna burl. Conduct is the best proof of character.

Did you do the fitting? With rich rosewood, it's often so oily most finishes have problems drying. I found a good soaking in acetone sucks a lot of that oil out of the wood, making it easier to finish. With the burl rosewood pictured earlier, I did that and noted the acetone took the black background off the Ruger medallion. That's OK, as it looks good on the SS ROA. I used Custom Pro oil, a tung oil/urethane product that Brownells sells. It's harder and tougher than Tru-Oil. DF

I have a nice set of customs on one of my FA 83s but can't find a pic at the moment to share. I am pretty proud of timber on this CZ 527 Prestige in 22 Hornet. Still unfired... might have to change the next time I am home. Semper Fi

DF I had a local gunsmith make those out of a chunk of Rosewood that he had lying around. This was his first time making one piece grips, they came out great and only cost me $75.00...

Glen stocked for Dakota Arms and a few others until he went off on his own. I was looking to build something, hopefully, as nice and found a gent in VA who deals in Pre 64 M70 actions. He asked what I was looking for so he sent me about 40 email pics a few hours after we talked and it was all I could do to keep my jaw off the floor. Glen made the rifle for him and some how, in the communication the LOP was about 1/2" too short so he sold it to me at a price I could not pass on. I've nearly sold it 2x but thankfully realized i'll never own a piece of wood like this for the rest of my life. It hates light or mono metal bullets but loves most anything 115 gr or heavier and either IMR 4350 and both 4831's. Finally killed a mulie doe last year up behind the house. With either the 115 BT or 120 PT, the drops line up perfectly with the B&C reticle in the 2.5-8 VX3. When I was first doing load development I sent it out to Charley Santoni of CS Sports in Woodland, CA to let him look at it to see if he could help determine why it wouldn't shoot anything tight. He called a day after he got it and proclaimed it was the finest rifle he'd ever laid hand or eyes on. He asked to shoot it and proclaimed it was a temperamental whore when it came to mono metal bullets but it liked his standby load of 115 BT and IMR 4831. Last edited by GSSP; 09/29/15.

Agreed. That is the finest looking 788 I've seen. Nice rifle, slm9s. My old 788 is original, but you make me want to re-stock it.
