Looking for some wood or micarta grips for my FA M 83 44 mag. I know FA only fits grips to guns but I am willing to take a chance on grips from another gun.
Please email

Thanks

Lynn. Google freedom arms grips. tombstonegrips.com looks like they make some!

just for info. every grip frame on FA revolvers are different for each gun. I tried putting the grips from my FA22 on the FA44 and they would not fit!
I got lucky as my FA44 came with an unfinished set of rosewood grips. took me almost 100 hours of fitting to get them right!

Lynn,
Contact FA and IMHO I would order the Rosewood grips like I did. It took me about 15 or so hours to match them to the frame and If I had to do it over again I would have made them with my finger groove and hand configuration slightly but not over aggressive. The loads that I shoot are not cannon rounds but they do send the bullets downrange with no issues even on 60 and 80 round matches.

Look at the photo in the Flash drive which shows my FA 44 mag
