Guys...

Looking to swap the handles out on my euro travellers.

The handles aren't bad, just a little short and the wrong rake angle for me personally and I notice that the Omer handles and the handle on the new Beuchat marlin and revolution fit my hand better.

I've seen that Neptonics do a teak handle on a aluminium frame but I'm not sure that these handles fit and, at $70 a pop + carriage, I can't get it wrong and, even then, I might not like them.

I don't want fat, I want longer in the grip and more rake so my wrist is cocked and locked. The mass of the guns is so much that recoil against a cocked wrist but not locked elbow shouldn't kick that much even with 2 X 18mm bands on board which I rarely use anyway.

Any suggestions ?
 
TinMan here makes a fine handle, the grip has choices. I'll try to find a link.
Cheers, Don Paul

Here's a image..

I don't think I posted the first bunch here, but I have another batch that will be ready in about 10 days or so. The frames are black anodized aluminum, and they accept standard AR-15 rifle grips, so you can customize them somewhat by selecting a grip that fits you best. The top plate and screw pattern match the Wong handle, though the screws are larger (#8 instead of #6). I also have a simple pushrod arrangement for anyone who wants to use them in a mid handle gun.

Thanks TinMan, If I were building a gun I'd be all over these. Thanks for the update.
Cheers, Don
 
They look nice. Please fire me a PM if and when any are ready please.
 
Myfish - I'll shoot you a PM. I have a new batch of handle frames ready.
