This is the handle for my first build. It is built with the Batson tapered foregrip pieces and butt cap with a Batson exposed blank seat.


First stupid mistake, didn't put enough rod bond to provide enough lubrication for front bushing on the rear grip, so the eva split a little near the center. I used an o ring as a winding check to hide the mistake, thus having to put one on the other end.


Some of the foam needs shaped up a bit. Over all I'm satisfied with this being my first attempt. Not nearly as good as some, but I'm all thumbs and far from a master craftsman.

Thanks DR,


The kind words are greatly appreciated. I have seen some of you handles, and they are very impressive.
