The early fibreglass used was a brown color,,when they added the black dye to it,the original dye did not work so well,,hence the brown shows thru..As it gets worn,that also can meke the brown start to show as well.

I just ordered a few from him. He is in FL.
Out of about 140 units, he is down to 80 units left. He said he wasn't sure what was happening, but they were flying out of there today. Power of the forum. He also has some old leapers carry handle mount scopes for 45 bucks and colt BCGs complete as well as complete colt uppers. |

He's probably saying WTF is going on. I just bought one to add to the hysteria.
Couple years ago a gal in Denver had them 3 for $12 + $3 SH. She sold out in a month. Anyway the seller in FL is GTG, bought some carriers from him before. They were very nice late 604 era. |

Well, I warned him how pleased I was and that I would spread the word. Damn, I should have hit him up for a percentage of his sales. Mine looks like a cross between the 3rd & 5th one in your photo. I just hope everyone else's looks as good as mine. It's a shame he had no green ones. That was my first question when I called him.

It's always good to have some spares for making a cutdown 607-608 grip or for a front VFG. It's bound to happen, someday even the A1 grips will dry up.

I cut a mottled A1 grip back in the day when they were plentiful and cheap. Looks like the real deal. I'm pretty lousy with a grinding wheel anyway. I've been giving away A2 grips when people buy parts from me. Only way to get rid of the darn things.

You know, I have been cutting my a1 grips to put on my 607. I have got it down as far as matching the length and the mods to checkering to make it look issued.
Anyone have any close up detailed pics of a real cut down 607 grip and the checkering mods. I had to re-do my current mottled cut down grip a few times to get the checkering to look original to match. But it gets shorter each time. |
