THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
I have been working on a C7 clone build. I really like the looks of late A1/early A2 furniture with the deep black color that ranges from semi-gloss to glossy. I managed to get a nice set of early A2 handguards that are gloss black, and I am using a type E stock that is slightly matte but will no doubt wear into a shine. These were easy to come by but I am having a much harder time finding an A2 pistol grip made out of this material. The ones I have come across are the more modern plastic formula that are more of a very dark grey with a texture to them. I have a Lonestar grip on there now which is the right material but it just feels funky in the hand. Does anybody know where to get an early A2 grip?

Do you mean like the grip pictured here?...



...If so, it might interest you to know that most every grip I've ever held will look like this after a while of normal use. The grip pictured above came with my Bushmaster (Whindam, ME), but I've had others from both DPMS, and M&A Parts, as well several issued weapons' grips that have turned out the same. They all start out as "flat"-looking, but carry it around awhile, & they usually shine-up just fine...

Hope this helps...

Hi buddy, I got home from work late today but went right to the gunlocker and checked my stash. I believe I have the shiny A2 grip you need, almost all the A2 grips I had were a flat slightly textured dark gray or black but this one is a smoother and shinier black color. E-mail or IM me your info and I put it in the mail to you. This is for the kindness shown to me by that fine member WHITE_WOLFE when I needed a sight assembly to complete my rifle...Thanks WHITE_WOLFE, your random act of kindness and your generosity goes on....<><....:)

The shiny black A2 grip went out in today's mail buddy (5/1), enjoy it....<><....:)
