OK guys cool yer jets here. I will have to agree they are "butt" ugly . I have seen two of these type grips, not quite that short on the forend though. They were made I believe by a fellow in Kalifornia. The grip and forearm were all one piece, I believe the one in the pic may have been cut down? The idea was to COMPLETLY float the barrel, as the forearm was integral to the grip.
John, I don't know what ya gave for the grip, but rings in my mind the fellow was selling them for about$35-45.
Bret, Mark, Gary or Jay can ya help me out here? Can't find that issue of IHMSA news paper with the details on this thing. Jeff

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder or something like that. Did you contact Billy? He's been around awhile and I always considered him a standup guy. If your not happy with it he'll probably work out a refund for you?

OK JSH is a contender barrel supposed to look like this one that billy marr sold alan.And also if you find an issue in a magazine of this barrel it will probably say HERES A NICE DURABLE TOMATO STAKE
I emailed Him on the recieving of my items. I actually bought three thing from him ,all as bad as these ,just i cant get the grip image out of my head. I did not curse or over react ,but i did tell him i would post what he did.,however i will not be posting emails between us on the forum for i would consider that the same as reading someones diary without permission.I have the emails for backup if i need them,i dont think i will tho.
