Just let me know.

I am almost positive I have that issue. I can make you a copy if you don't find one to buy.

I haven't tried to put a set of factory grips on these frames,, as they came with grips. Both grip frames & grips are sold to Hankus & Robb.

Yep,, the good 160 necklace does wonders for them,, at least just once! :D I can tell the difference in them when skinned.

Nice to see it finally made it to you. As noted,, no way those grips are factory. I find it funny that someone put medallions in them. And in your search for the PROPER set of grips,, make sure you search for "ORIGINAL" XR3 grips,, not the current ones. There is a difference. Your best bet...

Unless it has odd markings like a "D" or an "S" or something,, no premium.

Ok,, anton853 has already purchased his g/f from Midway. I'll get pictures up tomorrow and Hankus has dibs on a set first.

Not sure if he does micarta or not,, but look into "Lone Star Custom Grips". Zane Thompson. He goes by lscg on forums. TOP quality!

BOTH GRIP FRAMES & GRIPS ARE SOLD. I'm starting a new thread,, as a bit of discussion by a new member in another thread asked about birdshead grip frames. I posted in the old thread,, and here's a copy for this one. The new member can't do PM's yet. Ok, for new member anton853,, (who can't...

Ok, for new member anton853,, (who can't get PM's yet,,) and Hankus,, I did a bit of digging. I have (2) Birdshead grip frames. Aftermarket, with grips. Both are stainless,, One set has white poly grips, and one has black poly grips. They are not factory grip frames. But they do look identical...

Thanks Chad, I knew I'd heard something,, just could not remember the models. Do you know if Ruger did or did not male a model change when they did that? I was thinking they didn't.

Apologies are necessary in my opinion. Around this place,, we try HARD to help folks with good information. I read things wrong,, and it could have made a difference to you and others who may have looked into it. I've had the pleasure of shooting a few AC556's long ago. If you have one...

I was hoping 1gunsnotenough would see this thread. He's about the most serious collector I know of when it comes to the MKII's. (I know another one,, but I'm not sure he has as detailed records as above.) My faded memory seems to recall a slight variation in a few of the D&T versions within a...

The best way to get a correct idea of how the gun shipped is to get a letter from Ruger Records. It'll cost $10. It will give you the exact model info, when it was mfged, when it was shipped, and where it was shipped to.

Yep,, apparently I'm wrong again!
