Doc Fill 'Em 67797 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 If you have wood grips for a plowhandle gripframe, AND, you're handy with a sander, I think they can be shaped to fit. The front part of the gripframe is the same between a birdshead and a plowhandle. It's the back that's different. I saw someone on the CAS City site that reshaped some wood grips to fit a birdshead and they looked good. Jus sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Mountain Buzzard Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Doc, I just checked with both the regular and Super Blackhawk grips on a Bird's head gripframe and neither has enough wood to work. The regular is too short and the super is too thin in the middle... With that said, I have a new set of "The Last Cowboy" grip panels that I would sell. But not cheaply ($100) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Fill 'Em 67797 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Well, granted, it will not be a perfect fit. There will be a small amount of the backstrap showing, perhaps 1/8" or so. But it is possible. Picture showing amount of metal that will show Showing how much to trim From the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
