Trap Grip Caps other than NECG?

I need one in a larger size than they offer, I called and it only comes in one size. Any others out there? Thanks.

I'm not sure, but I think that Steven Heilman offers one.

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

EAW makes the trap grip caps that NECG sells.
Good luck.

I think Steven Heilman used to advertise his grip caps on his website, but I don't see one now. You might shoot him an e-mail.

already ready spoke to him.....Its looking like I am either going to have to skip the trap grip or do some serious smithing, I may just enlarge a smaller cap by adding a thin spacer. I'm not sure the trap in the grip is worth that much more work, but it is my rifle. Then again I may just say oh well and go for a steel grip cap sans trap. Either way, I need to decide soon. Thanks for the input.

Don't know how much of a hurry you're in, but we have made prototypes of what I call a "skeleton trap cap" There is no machined cavity, but a big opening, allowing the wood to be opened up to about any configuraion. I'll try to post photos...but I emphasize this is in the development/prototype stage.

Duane,
have you established the dimensions? I would like my grip to come in about 1.430" wide give or take a bit. If I have the outer shape of the cap I can shape the grip. Thanks,
Steve
