A Crosman 600 I traded for a set of custom grips. I have neither.

owww....... tell ya what. I happen to live in Akron. if I get a chance, I'll stop by the address and see if his house is still there.

Set the price high, better to have a few happy customers than many angry ones. Just remember though, if you let your hobby become your business....you'll need a new hobby.

JA was attempt a set of grips for me made from this:  http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?21836-Home-grown-quot-micarta-quot-%28picture-intensive%29


I bought Denim and the supplies and made him two blanks to work with. Along with that I also sent a new 1701 grip frame to fit the finished grips to and my great set of Keith Grips to assure right and left thickness and contours.I received an e-mail that all arrived and he would start on them pretty soon. That is the last contact I have had from him, a little over a year ago. With postage, insurance, materials, and parts, I lost around 175.00

A lot of good advice But don't forget possible liability issues When making mods, especially trigger adjustments, even though you've tested it safe before shipping, there could be mishandling or not following safety procedures by the owner that could cause injury. With the number of ambulance chasers out there a lawsuit could arise.

Good point. If you paint the tubes and barrels, have them shipped to you disassembled and return them that way, They can reassemble at home.


If you were in a full blown business, an insurance policy is cheap enough. I would not do repairs without being an authorized service center by one or more of the major players. Just me though. A bit more of an expense for sure, but once set up, all that is needed is to start building a good reputation.

If you used paypal, you can file fraud and they'll hook you up with a refund. I'v had similar things happen too.
