Ruger Old Army with Elk Stag Grips

[OldNo7]

This is my first COVID-era gun-related purchase in over 8 weeks...
That's the longest "dry spell" of not buying any gun accessories or ammo since I was a teenager...
And that was a loooooooooong time ago...

But I think I made up for the wait in style.

Anyway, I do like Elk Stag grips, and this set called out to me:

I think they look really sharp on my Ruger Old Army. Now I can't wait to get it over to the range and have other shooters oogle over them -- from 6 feet away, of course.

This Old Army was heavily modified many years ago with:
* A handmade partridge front sight
* A Millet full-blade rear sight
* A Smooth trigger blade (filed away the grooves)
* A trigger stop added (between trigger plunger & spring)
* A 5/16" rammer extension (for target loads)
* Treso Ampco Bronze nipples
* An action job with 3# trigger pull

The grips are the latest addition, and the only change I can think of now is to shoot it MORE!

Tight groups.

Yup -- those grips sure do look good

Those are some of the nicest elk stag grips I have ever seen.

Look almost like sambars. Extremely nice compliment to that ROA.

Are they real or, uh, not?

They're well made grips and if real stag I just which the folks that make them would stop bleaching and let the natural color stay put! They are antlers not bone! Taxidermist do the same thing with skull mounts for some reason and that is bone. The color suits stainless steel far better than it would blue guns though.
