I scored some 90 yr. old grips off ebay!

If they only arrive in one piece. I needed a right side grip for a 1920's 7.65mm M1908 Bayard. It was cheap due to that fact. Replica units were about $45, I got these (a complete set with screws too) for $20.50 delivered. Persistence pays.

It's only a 5-shot and original mags can fetch close to $100. Triple-K (many times questionable quality) is not far from half that. The search continues. I keep it as a curio and last ditch piece, it works 100% with ball ammo and what little I shot with Federal Hydro-shocks ($2 each) it even likes those.

S&W made a M61 way back in .22 and .32 but it died a slow death. Ejection port at the slide/frame line. They even made a bunch of .22 RF in that Bayard layout with the barrel on bottom, spring on top. I think the frames were extruded aluminum done in AZ. I remember reading that.
