Pumpkin handles?

[Throttle_monkey1]

Hey guys, are the nice looking pumpkin handles g10 or micarta? I ordered a BATAC LE with tiger handles, and was wondering what the differences in the handles would be in g10 and micarta? thanks

Pumpkin handles are black and orange G10. I got this info about the differences from the Busse Collector website:

"Canvas Micarta is a layered material made of canvas and phenolic resin roughest and strongest of the 3 micarta’s used by busse."

"G10 is made from laminated glass cloth (fiberglass cloth) and epoxy resin. has been seen from busse in blue+black, tan+black, green+black, red, yellow, orange, tan+grey, and white+green variations."

cool, thanks. so all the fancy/colorful handles are mostly g10.

Colorful ones, yes. That's because Busse gets better vibrance from G10.

I like canvas micarta magnums...planty fancy for me!
