"Still open for suggestions."
Can you make them a different shape?

Depends,...What shape are you desiring?.....And will it appeal to others?

Yep, Hunstman's is all tan with heavier black webbing, I believe.

The OEM bow looks too much like a military mauser bow! Too square!

I am the one that posted the photo of the blackburn type guard, and I bet there alot of folks that would like that shape if they knew it was available for the Montana and that it would fit right in. I know I would buy one. Tanner, here I thought I would post a photo of you.

Sorry Brad, Tooling cost and machine time would make it very cost prohibitive. I would have to sell several hundred to keep the cost at what most are willing to pay.
