Now I just have to put it all back together!

Good time to install a 26# mainspring, and do a bit of sear work while I am at it. Even got a set for one of my SBH's(just have to decide which one to put them on).

looking good Tek what kind of wood did you choose? Much better than the stock rubber they come with

They are holly and yes much better than the rubber grips it came with. I actually made a ragged looking set of wood grips right off the bat and never fired it with the rubber grips.

In the top picture, is that a SBH grip set compared to the BFR set?

If so, that's quite a size difference.

I held a .500JRH with the white MR grips fitted to it today at the NRA show. I liked it! But I fear for my knuckle...

The other set is for a SBH, but it is the camera making it look that way. Here is the actual size difference which isn't much at all.

Very nice. I like light wood myself. What caliber is that BFR?

Very nice!
Wish I had the skills to make a couple myself for my .444.

Oh.... well I can make some, but they don't look like these!

Seems simple enough to just remove all the wood that isn't grips from the block. Somehow, it gets a bit more complicated along the way :bigsmyl2:
