Thanks!

I don't think so.

They aren't even accepting new work until the end of July. I have a 80s vintage commercial I've been wanting to send in ever since you posted your orm 1991.

Turnbull is going to do a sxs for me, but I gotta get the Royal Blue on the Colt.

Congrats on your Python Doc! Good shooting with it!

I saw you are looking for original stocks in the ads. You may have looked but look at the Colt Forum also.
There are usually some stocks there.

Personally, I like Elk Horn grips on a lot of my pistols. Patrick Grashorn in Wyoming makes some great ones.

I see putting original stocks on a Python but horn stocks make a good barbecue gun! :txflag:
and, I like the way elk horn stocks handle on a lot of pistols...

Posting one of mine just to show an example...

Stocks are headed to "swamprat" for restoration.

Nice Snake you got there!
