My Grip/Foregrip, Stock work new pic. 2/10
Grips are Rob’s which i have duplicated, the foregrips are from scratch.
this is one of the duplicated grips black one is Robs and the natural Walnut one is mine.
Something i’ll improve on and turn into a one piecer this winter. This one is available if any would be interested. Core wood is birch.
A cocobolo one i’m working on now. Older pic grip is near done and will start foregrip soon, something a little different should be an eye catcher.

These are approaching finished added some different ideas like the stippling and black stain, polyurthane over oil, Mix of woods, textures.
first one here is the Cocobolo with topcaot of poly.
Second one here I added some stippling and then stained it black.Will oil then top coat with poly. I like this look and the graining on the palm side so i followed it with the stippling. Blends in nice i think. I will be doing this black stippling with the other grips i have going.
Here is that stock i’ve been messing with between grip/foregrips. If i had it to do over again i’d put the foregrip i’ve come up with below on this stock. along with the target grip i think it would look good.
This is the two foregrips i like the best subtle differences between the two.

well mate i would be very greatful to u for this thank u .. 😀
Give me a couple of days and i’ll see what i can find. I have one mill 5 miles away that carries local hardwoods only, walnut included. Then there’s a mill about 45 mins; drive that has all the exotic stuff, i’m not working to far from it. I’ll make a few calls and see if they have anything like that in stock. Someone around here has to have some nice dried walnut stashed away.
well mate i,m looking for a bit for myself to do a thumbhole stock for my rimmi so i,m looking at a bit off nice dark very grainy walnut mesureing
3″thickx9″widex40″long .would love burled or figured but as i said the price is what will make me buy or not ..
tell u what mate if u r near the mill check out there price,s off a bit thats dried and ready to go and then we can talk about the rest ..
thankd for the help bud .. 😀
What size do you need? Thats what over $200US? Wouldn’t cost that much to ship it, $50 i’d guess. What grade are you after? I can get select and better. Its up to you, i found a good mill to get my wood from. Have you checked e-bay? careful because some of the really nice stuff (figured,burled) is green and should be air dried. Its cheap but takes a couple of years to dry.
well mate got another sucker punch today i e-mailed a company for a quote for american black walnut and they told me it would be £135 for a bit big enough to do my rimmi stock witch isn,t fare as u lads get it so cheep plus u can go and c what u r getting i need to hope the company send,s me a good bit ..i,m gutted 🙁
All good 😉 .
ye mate lol all good though ain,t it mate 😀
Notice how much darker the wood is in the individual pics? Still one side of the foregrip has more oil in it than the other. The grip is very even in color. You’ve beat me to a few before i could get them out as well.
well bodi u have realy pissed me off now lol u stole the work right out of my mind lol i was thinking off makeing a grip like the one for rob a week or so ago ..but didn,t now i,m not going to lol well i muight later on realy nice mate welldone 🙂
Heres a walnut grip i did when i had Robs set. Still needs a final sanding and oil coat. Nice grain in this one. Had it awhile just haven’t took any pics till yesterday. Nice little grip, need to design a simple, smaller foregrip for it.
AAhhhh Rabbits, hope i didn’t make you feel used 😆 , heres the promised pics let me know what you think.
Grip pics first, i waxed the front a little where the finger rest. The rest needs some final sanding 320g and up. Even with out a finish the grain is clearly present, more so in the pics then in my hand.
That is it for the grip, now the foregrip, different, recessed grip, floated front, the rear(trigger area) is still unfinished, still decideing on how to finish it and have it blend with the rest. I’m pretty sure i know what i’m going to do. I take my time as one mistake and many hours are shot in the arse. The wood isn’t cheap either. Let me know what you think of it, not sure i’ve ever seen one like it. Its parts of different foregrips i’ve done and ones i’ve seen others do and put it all in one. Not the best pics either??? She ain’t done and camera shy i think.
Here is the set on the gun 1000watt light used so things are a bit washed out, but you get the idea, and the color of the coco is seen in the individual pics. Obviously some work is still to be done, mainly where the trigger area is concerned. Need to chamfer the recessed area to match the grip’s thumbrest. Also will reduce the trigger guard area to match the lip of the grip a bit more.
Well, let me know what you all think, i know the grip is a winner, the foregrip??? I think it looks dam good but, may not be for everyone. Much time and thought has gone into it. Tough to put all the favorite parts of a design into one foregrip.
