wow! thats some crazy shit! Hope Sheri gets better!

yea like lunker said... well i was looking at more of a preventative measure.... any way of protecting it with something??

I'm sure that if you have a wood gun you're run into this problem, and I've talked to some guys who just tell me to accept it as part of owning a wood gun, but it hurts me when my gun gets all scratche and dinged up from a day of diving on the boat. I dont abuse it, or anything but the finish on it scrapes off just through the normal wear and tear or going diving.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I don't know. I agree that it would be wise to round over the part above the thumb as much as possible, but the rest is cosmetic. Some seem to prefer rounded curves, and some prefer the angular look. Rounded is more expensive when machining, however.

the last pic with the turtle besides you is epic....thats the technisub micromask right?

What a trip! I've only been fortunate enough to come across tripletail a few times, but they are one of my favorite eating fish.

. . . I still feel that the grip should be higher but there's not more that can be done.
You know I'm a fan of getting the grip as high as possible, but you're right that there isn't too much more that can easily be done. I will say though, that the greater angle of the Hogue really forces your hand up close to the bottom of the stock. The Riffe, at least for me, tends to direct my grip at least an inch lower.
Not the best pics, but you get some sense of the difference

Dan's stock arrived today, so I was able to check the fit of my handle. There are a few very minor changes that I would make on future versions, but nothing substantial enough to keep it from fitting up. So here's how it would look, except maybe with black anodizing.

Absolutely. I'd love to see it.

...how many man hours? will it be something that is cost effective in the current model or would new materials be needed?
Thanks. Probably about 8 man hours in this one, so not something that I would build. I may look into having a small batch made if there is any interest, but I think that they would be cost prohibitive if they were machined from a solid piece as this one was. They would really need to be cast in either plastic or aluminum, but that would be a considerable investment.

I think I remember seeing pictures of that handle, but I couldn't figure out how to do it that way and still provide room for the saftey. That's why this one has the little stubby part in the middle of the left side. I don't know what will become of this one exactly, but I wanted to keep the safety as an option.
-
Any particular reason why you went with the angular style?
There were places (like along the sides) where I simply couldn't cut rounded corners with the tooling that I have available. The trigger guard could have been more sculpted, but it was near the end and I just got in a hurry to get it done.
-
Tin, how does the trigger guard width with compare with say a 1911 ?
Cheers DonDon - I don't know what the width of a 1911 trigger guard is, but mine is 5/8" wide.

I'll do this for now, and delete it later when Photobucket is back up.
