Picked up the most excellent Grip from Royal Arms in Tennessee for my Teryx stock.
The Great people at Royal Arms told me this.
"The grip was modeled after the founder of the company, RJ Brill. He is now retired but we are excited to be able to tell him that his grip is still appreciated!"
Maybe we can get them to make these to fit our needs? Market is wide open!
Now as it comes it will not bolt right on so I started by scribing the top of the grip around the stock so I could start removing stuff.
After I scribed it I took one of the butter knifes and heated it up to melt a groove near the marks.
(Please don't tell SWMBO!!)

After the starter grooves were melted in and all traces of the now ruined butter knife were taken out back and buried in a deep hole, I used this to cut to depth and shear off the section needing removed.

Once I removed the section it ends up looking like this.

I've got a little bit of finish work to get the final fit but this thing Rocks!

Had to run to a TSC store to get a longer screw that threads into the Teryx stock.
The one with the grip is a metric and the Teryx is a standard 1/4-20 and it needs to be 1.5 inches long for the Royal Arms grip.
Mounted the grip and found out I need to machine the mounting part on the Teryx.
It's about an 1/8 inch that needs removed to get the grip exactly where I want it.
Problem is the stuff that holds that part in seems to be stripped out or something.
And the whole thing wobbles!

Update.
That grip mount is held in place with 4 set screws and I managed to get it all out.
Now it's nice that one could change the grip mount for a different length of trigger pull?
Just that aluminium with pointed set screws get buggered up sometimes. As it the case here.
I'm gonna contact an old friend and see if he can make me a Stainless Steel mount and do a total pass through retaining system.

So some where along the line of years?
GTA did something that removed all the links to the images.
Those images are still at GTA! Not a photobucket problem.
