Title: WANTED: orange micarta
Post by: chris.customworks on April 10, 2014, 07:51:16 AM
I am searching for orange micarta with 3mm or 6mm (0.118" or 0.236") thickness. Other materials (g10) or colours (natural micarta instead of orange) are ineligible.

I hope for a lot of feedback!

Best regards

Chris

I have some that I made from orange Hi-Viz vest material and polyester casting resin.

It's about 4mm thick and I have 4 pieces approx 23mm x 105mm.
I want to keep one set, but you can have the other pair for $5 to cover the cost of postage if it suits your need. I'm pretty sure I can get them through at letter rate taped to a piece of cardboard.

PM me if you're interested.

Here's a pic of the recruit I did in it, along with a comrade in arms wearing green canvas micarta.

I have left both in a coarse sanded finish intending to emphasize the grip, but they will sand up to a smoother finish with finer grit paper.
