Find of a lifetime

Post by JunkCollector »

My daughters boyfriend does home cleanouts.
He Said he found "some" grips.
He knows I'm into S&W revolvers and that I am a grip junkie.

He brought this box over last night.
Stacked 5 rows deep.

I spread them out last night to clean and inspect.
It was pretty amazing

Interesting. . .looks like the whole pile is wraparound target stocks.

Time to start rescuing Smiths with crappy A.M. grips! :lol:

I believe we should stand on Ceremony. . . while our friends handcuff the sanctimonious little prick and take him away.

I thought the same Ron
Well every set is a 100 dollar bill plus so definitely
Quite a few are Rosewood too so that's a nice factor.
There are over 100 sets.....I didn't count either...lol

Already sold a few sets for him

Certainly....all at my house.
The momma tree is very close to me and when S&W stopped making grips employees went home with shopping bags full of them.

That would depend if it's round or square butt.
These are all square butt
Also target grips on a fix sighted gun is generally not done much.
