I have a 70 classic in stainless and would like to replace the ugly OEM handle. I talked to Mark Penrod and he makes them but is not taking any new work. Can anybody make a stainless handle, without a year wait? Thanks

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

For some reason I never thought the OEM handle on Model 70's was ugly??

I not only think they are ugly, I think the handle should be longer and not so near my knuckle.

Curious about the same thing.

You both got it wrong Big Grin
Stottlemyer

Yeah I can make what every you want but it's going to be a few months lead time.
I can make it out of what ever Stainless you want
316, 410, 416. Can weld it up and polish it out too and bead blast to match the finish.
This will not be a $90 knob weld job though

I'll take an M70 handle over a M700 handle every day of the week.

Try Jim Baiar at Halfmoon. He made one that was used on my James Anderson / Dean Zollinger custom stainless M70. He also made the barrel and it is scary accurate.
