i saw it and thought it was a West Hurley.....was it real?

 

the shape,condition, recessed screw hole and lack of markings is what made me not bid

 

who ever paid $300 thought it was real id assume

huggytree,

 

Yes, it was real. It has been heavily sanded, however, which kept the price down. Recessed screw hole and no markings are characteristic of original Remington made grips for the Colt guns. Incidentally, all the original vertical fore grips have the recessed screw hole.

Patience huggytree, you'll find a better vertical grip out there.

ive been searching for parts kits with them in...ive seen bridgeports with a vert. grip included......but not a Savage....

 

buy the parts kit for $1500....take the grip, swap w/ a horiz.grip and resell for $1300
