RMD handle width

[ozgooner]

I recently got hold of a Ratmandu and love it, but find myself wishing that the handle was a little wider as I have quite large hands. I imagine the Custom Shop could do something for me, but has anyone else done anything to widen the handle on the RMD to give a fuller grip?

You can have them add some liners, or double liners. That's assuming that when you say wider you mean thicker.

I've seen people wrap their handles with paracord.

Yup, liners are a way to go, or you can upsize to R6... R5 has wider handle.

I really need to jump in the car and come and check out your collection sometime.

If you want to save on postage and waiting time you should get in touch with Tinbasher. He's modded a fair number of Busse and Rats, and is set up to fix handles with tubes too.
I've gotten a SAR Rat modded by him, mirror polished and rehandled in wood
