Where to get grips made

[crippy02]

Hey guys,

I have an OLD pistol I want to get restored. Ok, so maybe not wild wild west old, but the company that made it has been out of business for longer than I've been alive, so it's old, m'kay? For any old gun buffs, it an Unique Arms (French) .22 auto pistol. Little bitty thing. It still barely has the original plastic grips, but they're cracking and breaking and falling off. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get some grips made for it. I am going to send it out to be restored and re-finished, but the grips are not salvageable, unfortunately.

Any help would be appreciated, this pistol has family history and it's a shame to see it in its current condition. In a nutshell, it was my Great great Aunt's pistol, my Grandfather stole it from her when he was a boy to keep her from shooting my Great Great uncle with it for being a perpetual drunk. the pistol's been handed down since then, and now it's mine. It still shoots like a dream, I can pick a target and hit where i point, so I'd love for it to be back in good looking condition.

thanks guys.

You have any pics? I could probably make some wood ones.

You might check with Ahrend's. http://ahrendsgripsusa.com/index.htm

I have purchased three sets of grips from them and they are great people to work with. IMHO, it would be worth a call.

Bob's Gun Shop in Arkansas lists just about every other part for the Unique, except the grips. Might want to contact them anyway cause they are always improving their inventory.

Edit: They do have grips for the Unique, depends on the model.

Numrich has grips for two different models of Unique.
