As a Johnstone I don't know how to take this.  ???
As a Kentuckian though, those sound like fighting words to me! :P ;)

Don't mess with A Scot Brian, they wear kilts and no shorts underneath in cold weather. Well tough  ;)

Well, I have just had some photos of the frame and grips, nearly finished.

I will post them up a bit later, just at the airport at the moment.

They don't look too bad, minor bits I can tidy up but other than that I like them.

amazing!!
look to be authentic
at first i was thinking it was aluminum poured over an existing parts.now i am convinced they are actually what theyre said to be
the dark spots must be some kind of contamination
i have seen ldc's with the same type of black marks look to the left of of the marker on the bottom of the core it is the black mark and other discolorations through the whole thing ..pretty cool ldc if you ask me

maybe you can suggest to the grip maker to use the marauder pistol grips to cast off of
they would probably be easier to polish

May be worth a mention to him Ed. I have a set he can use if he has none, Only thing with them is there is less detail, these just look stock. If they are indeed ok when they arrive it would be nice to have some target ones done too. Not counting my chickens just yet though.

Walt, yes there looks to be plenty for me to play with there. If the frame is as good as it looks I will be very pleased. Should look well on my shiny gun when polished

+1 to that!

What do the inside of the grips look like?  Are they flat/solid I assume?

Well done Gary and... aluminum can also be chrome plated, it just takes a good cleaning and etching prior to plating. Likewise, it can be brass plated or obviously anodized in a dozen diff colors  :-*
