I saw a post here about an engraved grip cap, which got me thinking I need one. Does anyone know of an on line source for gun jewelry?

I used to want to personalize my shotgun with a monogramed grip cap, but just keep in mind once you do that the gun will take a hit on resale value, most people don't want someone else's initials on their new used shotgun. You'd be better served to do one with a broken clay target or just engraving. Also you will have screw holes in the bottom of the grip if you decide to take it off and keep it. My alternative was to inlay a piece of ebony in the shape of a widows peak into the bottom of the grip.

Bill Mains did this one for me about 15 years ago at the Southern Grand. Nickel Silver, cost me about $150. I don't think he's with us anymore.

When I had my Kolar stock made, they fitted the stock to the grip cap.

I appreciate a quality guy.

I always look to see how the screw slots are indexed. Not helter-skelter but in the same direction up and down.

Guess I'm a little too anal, but that is from my Electrical assembly days. It is just makes for a clean and neat look.

This is not only beautiful but put together with care and quality in my book.
