      Quick question. Do you know of any aftermarket grips that may fit this frame?

                  There are a few people out there that will make a custom grip panel. I just had these done for my mini vert:


                  Note that the grips provided by Luke's are hollowed out on the inside to maximize available space for sleeper LPR configurations. These wood grips I had made are not hollowed out because it's for a build that includes a Luke's LPR-FG. I think the wood would be too weak to hollow out like Luke's does with the standard grip panels.

                      I made the pattern, and pbalien73 on MCB turned/laser engraved them for me. He can engrave anything that's a black and white .jpg file (black gets burned). Higher resolution is better (and it's ideal if you draw the originals in vector format, such as Illustrator). I sent him the aluminum panels last Monday, and they're back in the mail to me as of this morning.

                      Unfortunately he's losing access to the engraver as of this week until early August, but he can still make the panels just fine with his woodworking gear.

                        Those are really nice! I might ask if he would do another pair for a build I have been stalled on for ano ideas.

                          I just bought an almost complete Luke's marker. Mini vert, LPR, and rail. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to ANO it? On your grips did you just not polish them prior to ANO? I like the dust look.

                          I have never had anything ANO'ed before. So depending on how I prep the surface will dictate the end finish? If I polish and buff it will turn out gloss? If i do not it will come out more dust?

                            Your anodizing guy will do the prep for the finish you want.
