Typically they tend to bring a little more in my experience.

Dealing with docs and WC in job injuries just adds mental pain to the physical pain!
Hope the meetings lets things move forward for you.

Someone else's base pin but that is ok, I'm sure I have one in the box, If not I know a couple guys that will have one. Pretty sure it is a MR3-DB and not a Qualite or S&G but we will see once it arrives.

When I was at Alan’s a couple weeks ago we made a set of one piece grips for my USFA he is working on. Alan spent a disportionate amount of time fitting the inner spacer to the inside of the backstrap. I mean apply Prussian blue, fit, see high spots and work that spot down then do it all over again. He even made sure the grain pattern of the spacer matched both grips just because that’s the way he does things.

If the main spring strut support was reconfigured then a two piece grip frame for the Ruger coil spring strut would work. That is what the Power Custom Two piece Colt style grip frame for Rugers works. I have used it on several custom Fugers with one piece grips.

They were long hex head screws to install in the grip frame when you were working on the gun so you could bolt the frame off and on with out buggering up the factory screws. I had a set but gave them away and need to find another set.

The folks that live up the road a mile have a standard poodle that is a hunting fool! No hunting training but a squirrel or bird on the ground is not safe with her around.

I’ve ordered nice walnut from Roy, Rob, Zane and Cary in the past and built lots of furniture out of black walnut but there was a disconnect between the two simply because in one case you open a box and there is a beautiful gun or grip frame and you never see the wood in an unworked state like when I buy material for a shop build.
It was not until I began a conversation with Steven Dodd Hughes and ended up buying a set of his grips and his book that I first started thinking about the English, French and Bastogne walnuts as raw materials. When I bought those items from him he sent me two pieces of walnut he was going to use to make new forearms for custom lever gun projects. Since he decided to retire he was kind enough to let me get those two pieces and seeing that type of wood and holding it in hand brought back fleeting memories of a piece I bought many years ago from Steve here on the forum.
Once that happened and I found out about places like Fendi gun stocks, Larose guitars and a few others, I was lost!

The Las Vegas gentleman is Cecil Fendi and he has thousands of stocks. You ought to really the video a gunsmithing school made at his place. I have 10 pieces of walnut coming from him next week as well. He sent pictures and I selected the pieces I wanted.
I told you I am addicted to walnut!😄

Not selling grips but trying to learn first just for grin and giggles.
