: looking for 7x7 grips or 747 777 barrell or parts
: taxonomy March 02, 2007, 02:45:59 PM

I've got a 717 here that I am screwing around with and I'd like to make some custom grips for it with epoxy, just an idea, and I'll need to sacrifice the grips to do it.  If you have some for some strange reason let me know.

If you have a 747 or 777 barrel same thing, I'd like it. Any "upgrade parts" from the 747/777 like sear, trigger, sights, just about anything. Lemme know if you've got donors.

If you have a whole 747 or 777 parts gun let me know

Thanks!

from the looks of those grips you're most likely best off to just copy the inletting portion into two pieces of wood, then carve your own panel grips, they aren't that hard and you don't really need any super duper machines, just a Dremel tool and some sort of saw to do the rough shaping.   Just a hought.  There's also some guys that make grips for those if I remember correctly, maybe RB Grips?  Yup, Ralph makes some, right here:

: Grips cast in Polymer
: taxonomy March 05, 2007, 11:16:41 AM

I've decided that I am going to cast the grips in Polymer Clay.  

I am going to make a plaster of Paris cast as a mold of the original and then press polymer clay into the mold. I will  then place the grips cast in polymer on the gun and squeeze it till I indent it a little. The bake to harden.  

Presto, custom grips!  Well, not presto exactly but...

Anyhow, I am determined to add something of value to DIY air gun culture!  Now as soon as I get some free time....

Sounds like you have a plan.  My plans usually include trying to carve something.....speaking of which, it's a beautiful day outside, I should be sitting on my little shop chair in front of my garage carving.....been so cold the last few months I almost forgot that I carve things:)

Oh yea, my IZH-46m will be here on thursday and I have placed an order for some grips for it from SteveC.  Here's some grip "inspiration" for ya:
