This is a larger sized grip kit with enough additional
material for most of the variations of Blackhawk, Single
Six early models, and Vaqueros. It still might not have
the proper curve or neck to fit every single variation,
so send a template or a tracing to me and I'll check to
make sure this one is OK for your gun.
Grip kits are sent flat backed. Many Ruger single actions
need to have a shallow angled notch filed on the back, at
the top corner, to clear a reinforcement on the frame.
Most Ruger single actions have a solid pin projecting from
the bottom part of the frame, which fits a hole in the
back of the grip. This hole should be made after you have
fitted the grip size to the gun at the top, and after you
have made sure the grip is long or tall enough so it will
fit from top to bottom, and wide enough to be fitted side
to side.
Once the hole is made, you can then finish the sides and
bottom with the top firmly in place. A layer of clear tape
placed on the gun frame will protect it as you sand carefully
with a fingernail board until you just begin to scruff the
surface of the tape. Then remove the grips for a final
light polish to take the edges down perfectly to match
the frame. This can't be done from a distance: you need
the gun in hand, which is why Tombstone Grips can be fitted
so well by you, rather than being generically sized and
almost-right by someone who doesn't have your particular
gun, but only a general example of it.
A light sanding and buffing, detailed in the instruction
paper sent with every grip, will remove any surface lines
and create the desired finish (smooth, or with fine grain
pattern like real ivory, as you wish).
Compare the grip size to your gun. If the grip is smaller
do not order it! If the grip is larger, that's good. You
want a little room for fitting.
Grip dimensions:
- Height of front edge (A) = 0.95 inches
- Overall height (B) = 3.08 inches
- Width across base (C) = 2.37 inches
- Middle of front to rear edge (D) = 1.92 inches
- Height of screw hole center from base = 1.62 inches
- Screw hole center to front edge = 0.85 inches
- Width across screw hole = 1.55 inches
- Thickness at screw hole = 0.37 inches
- Thickness at top edge = 0.29 inches
- Thicknes at base = 0.50 inches
- Lenght of top edge (E) = 1.27 inches
The grip is as you see it, smooth. It looks very nice
with pearl, wood or amber effects.
