Just want some quick input, my main mag is almost done, just need to make the foregrip I've been wanting to make, and get some parts annoed, but I'm wondering what grips I should do.

I was thinking about doing faux pearl grip panels, but it might not look so great with the polished trigger and front part of the valve (back will be dust black some day).
I think a darker set of grips will look better, maybe a set of ebony (wood) grips? Id rather not do an aluminum set since I went and sold my super nice set a while ago:(
Or something else entirely?

Also, the whole gun will be Gloss Black/Dust Black, with a polished trigger and polished/Dust Black classic valve.

bling that trigger out a little more, more fine polishing should do the trick.

for the grips, will it set you back alot to make the pearl ones?
if not try both see how they look.

i personally would stay with the dark theme, but it also depends on how the grips look.

:D:D maybe that helps?

Shape of those triggers always reminds me of tribal patterns. How about a set of wood grips with tribal patterns carved into them?

Yea my thumbs get tired after a while with polishing:D I might get back to it a lil bit but it doesnt look too bad in person

Id be abble to do both types and see, if anything I could save the extra set for somethin else.

As for patterning, the ebony would be really dark, so patterns probably won't show too well.

Thanks for the input guys:)

That trigger looks even better than I thought it would. I wish I had a frame/mag for one.

I would probably use a smooth grip panel with that trigger, so that I could change positions as I go. Some Robertsr custom grips would certainly look good.

I like smooth wood too, but they are a little harder for me to pick out.

hmm, or black inlays, and perhaps keep the tribal design around the top back corner or the panels

For that matter, black grips with silver inlays would work with the color scheme nicely.

Hmm, nice, I actually just found a site that's selling some cheap faux pearl blanks, multiple colors too. Will have to see how my wood n ivory turn out as I've already got them on the way, and will start workin on em once I have time.

As for my trigger, it really does look a lot better in person lol, the flash makes the lil imperfections stand out more:D
