Hi,

Yes, I see them now on both my desktop and iPad.

Cool. I just forgot to make the folder viewing public after uploading. Good geeky fun! 😎


Thank you for your indulgence,

Coco Bolo is a fan favorite wood, I've whittled a ton of it. For awhile I had red in the lines of my hands and my shirt collar from Coco Bolo sawdust. In it's raw form it's actually toxic a little bit, but it sure is pretty and makes a real fine grip.

Big difference between 22LR and 22 Mag. I managed to get a couple boxes of 22 mag a couple weeks ago, I got lots of LR, about 6000 accumulated over the years, I need to start shooting it more.

What do you think, Bawanna. Genuine cocobola?

Stuff's getting pretty rare.

I can't afford $.40/a pull, until my 2k stimulus comes.

Hi,

I was just curious about that rifle model of this pistol. How cool is this?

If you mean the grips on his Heritage I'd say they are Coco Bolo. The stuff varies considerable. I've gotten large boards of the stuff in the past and fine one or two really nice grip sections and the rest kind of plain. Nice but not super nice grain pattern.

I got lucky a few weeks back and the Coastal my wife worked at for a short time had some 22 mag. And they weren't gouging on price. I think it was 12.99 a box. Only allowed 2. She scored a couple boxes of 9mm before she quit too. Didn't really need it but can never have enough.

The grip on this little revolver looks great, it's real wood. Yeah, I'm going to have to find a better price for the .22WMR ammo. I only paid that much because it was convenient. The online prices are insane. I'll be so happy when this madness is over.

I agree, the grips on yours are exceptionally nice. Very good grain pattern and look great.

I thought it was becoming more rare and expensive.

Coco Bolo has always been more pricey than some of the others but wasn't insane the last time I bought some. We have a lumber yard that carried all the exotic woods, a whole warehouse full of stuff to walk through, in all kinds of lengths. You could buy as much or as little as you wanted as long as you left a 3ft piece. If it was 3' 6'' you could buy 6''. Gaboon Ebony was sold by weight and you pay for the sawdust. That stuff is pricey.

Sadly a few years back they cut way back when the economy was ovomiting. They didn't have much last time I was there. Need to get up and check it out again. I'm way low on most everything.

Hi guys,

Thanks. Sometimes you just get lucky. I like the grain pattern on these grips too. Purdy.

I was looking at all the grips available on the shopheritagemfg.com website: https://www.shopheritagemfg.com/grips-2

Some of them are really cool and none are that pricey.

I think grips would make a nice birthday present for my daughter.
