Just want to say I could rough out the grips myself, but I'd never feel they were done right because I'd just be guessing at it most of the way. I want this to be nice and something he'll want to keep his whole life.
Thanks. |

Going to put a Hogue rubber grip on it and send out the rosewood to an engraver. Will see how it turns out. He'll probably prefer rubber to the wood for shooting, but maybe he'll prefer to keep it "special".
We'll see. Thanks for the input.

I'd say it's a good idea. My sister bought me a set of rosewood with the eagle badge on them. I'd have to check where but I do have his card. My Colt xse wears them.

Sorry I can't help too much with the grips but please check out my thread about my sons special build. It may be able to help you with some ideas. Let me know if I can help in any way. Congratulations to you and your son in his great achievement.

That's an awesome idea, and congrats to your son. I'm an Eagle myself (1982) and my son got his last year (he got a Remington 870 and a Philmont trip). As far as the grips, you could probably get some nice smooth wood ones fairly cheap from Brownells or Ajax, then just find someone with a laser engraver who does good work on wood, and has one of the units where you just load an image and hit the start button. I did this for a friend for a 1911 when he retired from Army SF- they turned out real nice.
