Been working on this one for a while David, there are several thousand of them.   

Struggle has been getting the exact ones I wanted at the right price.

No problem, but I have a database.

Those are a set of Davios new grips Carl.

Dave, have you given any more thought to the "marbled" effect in the cast grips? White/silver or Brown/black etc. 

Your suggestion made my "list" but I have been so busy lately I have not turned to it.

I will try pouring and stirring cast grips, but I can also get marble graphics to dip.   

[Tater]

Very cool looking grips, what material are they?
Great pics Carl, I've never seen a tin of .30 caliber either. Those pellets must be monsters!

Whoo hooo... I just received a shipping notification for some parts from Don Cothran!

Cool vert.   I just got some parts from him this week.  Great parts.

Thx Dave, keep us updated and shoot me an email if you find some film with the marbled look

Very cool.

Don usually ships within a few days.  If not, then he always answers his phone and will give you the scoop.  Perhaps you have mistaken him with another whiner/complainer/procrastinator/refunder with much less talent?

Always wanted a DC whatever for my Crosmans but he does not reply to emails..I texted him, gave him a ring 2x but it was just an answering machine who talked to me..Left him a message too. Maybe he does not sell to Asians lol!

I doubt that last! It may be that he does not sell international and realizes the number calling him is not US.  But he is not a racist.  I'd try again.

I tend to call him late afternoons and early evenings.  We collaborate a small but increasing amount on some of my parts. I do not have the time or his large CNC lathe and mill to do what Don and others can do efficiently.  He is a damn fine machinist (not just gun stuff) first and foremost and a serious gun nut 2nd. I send drawings and he quotes it, then I order a pile if I like it. And I usually do.  Hard not to like perfect parts.

Isn't that what a businessman that is a machinist should do?  I love it that he realizes that if I pay his asking price (or more... and NEVER beat him down on price) then he certainly does not care a flip what I do with it other than genuine interest.  And he knows if it works out it will mean more orders for him.  How basic a concept!  Yeah, I can probably save a few dollars getting some stuff done right here in town, but I also want to support those worthy gun parts craftsmen that aren't so near sighted that they view what could be associates as competition. They are making a special place in economic hell for themselves... and I hope they never have any fun! America would be really dismal without business to business associations.

Okay.  Down from the stump.  Obvious I like me some DC!
