Nice,I thought about getting them myself but I know I'd mess up a nice set of grips trying to fit em on my navy. I stink at detail work. Years ago I built a single shot percussion pistol, It coulda won the uglyist gun contest hands down:barf::D

Thanks for the feedback. I sent my Uberti 1851 London model backstrap and trigger guard off today to "Tru-Ivory" to be fitted with their one piece grips in slightly aged ivory color. They said it should take around four weeks. I'll post some photos when they arrive. Now I'm looking for a...

I'd like to get some imitation ivory grips for my 51 navy. Anyone have any reccommendations?

Now All I can think about are the long smoke polls??? Anyone else out there deal with this LOL, I think Geronimo did:uhoh:

Folks, just a word about the Lee hollow point molds, I've cast a fair amount of bullets from lee molds and think their a great mold for the money, however I had one of their hollow point molds for my .44 special years ago (a different caliber, I know) I hated it, what was usually an easy task of...
