Ruger MKII 22/45 Grips

Post by TechTeach » Sat Sep 05, 2009 10:58 pm

Leonard just to let you know made a new mold for the MKII 22/45 grips wasn't happy with the grips cast from the first mold. A little thicker than I wanted and not enough bevel on the edges. Made a change to the proto grip and made a new mold. I am going to cast grips from the new mold Monday and I hope these are the one's. Because of the existing grip shape the top half of the aftermarket grip is a little thinner not to worry because the plastic I use to cast the grips is tough. I am anxious to see how all turns out. To all readers of this post if it wasn't for Leonard I wouldn't be making grips yet for the MKII 22/44.

Glad to help Dom, and thanks for the update. Got enough guns that one can take a little time off. Looking forward to getting them, will probably get a second set for that guns twin. Saw your grips on Greeners MarkIII the other day when we had a fairly long range session and they looked very good.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.

What material are the grips made from?
