W49 grip scales

[Lefty6gun]

I own 2 late 60's western bowies and I plan to keep 1 original but would like to update 1 of them. I have searched the internet for screw on replacement grip scales in G-10 or micarta to replace the brass pinned walnut originals and haven't been able to find anything. I also plan on modifying the cross guard and chrome plating it. My question is does anyone know of any company or individual that might be able to or currently is making replacement G-10 or micarta scales for the mighty western bowie. Thank you.

Should be a pretty simple job for one of the competent craftsmen in the "Custom Shop: Services Offered" section of the forum.

Just look around and see some of the examples of past work. Custom scales is one of the more common services. I applaud your initiative.

While you are searching take a look for renown knife maker Bill Bagwell's W49 modifications.
Cool stuff.
