I recently acquired an Ideal .22 mold from a member here. Searching for handles, I thought, Why pay $35 for handles when for a little more I can get handles and mold. I struck a deal on Fleabay and they arrived yesterday. The wood is slimmer than commonly seen Lyman handles and there is a neck, over an inch long, extending from the joint to where the wood attaches.
I think it is a useful alternative, we have all seen charred Lyman wood grips. I have large hands so it is not a deterrent in that respect.
Can anyone inform me of the source, or history of this style? It it a rare early model or produced by someone else altogether?
Respectfully,
Bill
