Thanks!
I don't think so.
last one took 8 months, and this one is a solid, "shooter" grade

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.

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.
http://www.grashornsgunworks.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I think they really dress up a pistol. I just received some for a 1911 also.
I see putting original stocks on a Python but horn stocks make a good barbecue gun!
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!
