bk 15,16,17 micarta scales

Moose

Are those a little thicker then stock zytel moose?

All,

Factory BK-15,16 & 17 Micarta scales are being worked on as we speak. Present ETA is Dec '12; for sale Jan '13.
They will look surprisingly, like Moose's set.
Mrn8:hold on to your cargos.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the update. Count me in for three when they are released. Making my own has turned out to be a lot harder then I though as I don't have the proper power tools (yet)

Yes. Yes they are.

And just like all micarta, sucks up sweat and muck like a sponge. I gotta wash them after a few trips out, because the get sliiiiiiimy.

All,

Pricing is yet to be determined but it will fall in line with the BK-77 and the BK-11 handles....meaning somewhere in between.

You could always make your own. It's not that hard. Even with just a hand drill (although a drill press helps immeasurably). I actually just got a bunch of 1/8" camo G10 in that I'm planning on turning into scales for my 11. If anyone else is interested, I can probably make a few sets. I wonder if I epoxy 3 sheets together if that will look funny later if I cut it up...

Is it the digital camo G-10 where only the top part is colored or camo as in actual layers? If its that digi cam stuff then yeah, it'll look weird since as I said, only the top is colored/printed on so when you sand it you'll just end up with like a jade G-10 colored blob. If its the layered stuff, then no, I dont think you should have a problem...There might be a skip in the color pattern but thats probably not a big deal, especially if its multiple layers or color.

I'd like to stand up, take one for the team, and volunteer to test any prototypes you've developed.

That is all.

Jan can't come fast enough! I needs me some micarta for my tweeners.

I'll sell mine for $1,000,099.

I have some of the St. Cutlery, and I agree. The ergos are off. With liners, I think they'll be good, but I want to talk mrn8 into doing some custom G10 liners for the SC scales.
