Title: remington r51 grips
Post by: keefersgrips on May 17, 2017, 07:16:56 AM
hello, i am a new member of this forum. i own a gen 2 r51 and am very pleased with it. it is my primary carry weapon. when i purchased it i saw a need for after market grip. ihave large hands and thought thicker grips might improve handling so i made a set for my gun. i thought other owners might like them so i made. a few and put them on ebay and they sold. if anyone is interested they can be seen on ebay and also on gunbroker. just enter remington r51 grips. let me know what you think.

Nice grips. While probably a lot more work, I think people would like something like these that never appeared to make it to market.

These grips could easily be made on a CNC mill.

Hay keefersgrips I went ahead and placed a link to your auctions. Unlike some forums I don't have any problem with that sort of thing, linking to a ebay auction or some other site that sells things, no matter if it is your site or a site you are not affiliated with as long as it is on topic and since you are selling grips made for the gun this forum is about, that certainly qualifies as "on topic"

keefersgrips link >> http://www.ebay.com/usr/keeferja?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 (http://www.ebay.com/usr/keeferja?_trksid=p2047675.l2559)

Please confirm I got it right and this is your ebay ID I linked to.

Thanks for joining up BTW.

Robert

I just installed a set of hand checkered walnut grips from keefersgrips.  They are a significant improvement over the factory grips in that they are slightly thicker, which improves the grip for my large hands - although not as much as I would like.  I think the only thing that would make it better for my hands would be if the grip held a double stack magazine, which is not possible.

They also improve the overall looks of the pistol.  I'm very happy with my purchase and recommend them highly.
