   No I'm not complaining about what I'm getting for my grips I'm just stating statistics I make my prices and try to be fair about them I price them on what there made of and how long it takes me to make them and if some one dont like the prices nobody twisting there arm to buy them and I have adjusted my prices and like I said a while back I am making these grips to try and use up the material I have up and then the grips atfer that will be few and far between the grips I have been making here lately I have sold before I get them finished like on the dymond wood I had left about 10 pair all but three are sold and maybe those to the only bad thing about it is no one got a chance at them but the one that said he would take them before they were finished and I cant get the dymond wood any more so I hope any one that wants some of my grips gets them I dont know this guy may take them all . I'm going to try and finish all the material have left by the end of the year so when Uncle Sam hits me on these grips and my partial unemployment next year at tax time this will be it.

	His name is Clinton Alan Teeters, and he is my grandfather. He is alive and doing very well for, I believe, 86 years old now. He lives a couple miles down the road from me in Fort Wayne, so I get to visit him all the time. I manage a gun store here in town, so we share an interest in firearms. He still owns his 357 and 44 automags, in beautiful shape. He still has a bunch of grips if I'm not mistaken, but he hasn't made a pair in a long time. If you guys think his grips look good, those are some of his more simple and less demanding woodworking pieces. The man has made some breathtaking hourglasses, tables, etc... that would blow your mind. He's been the best grandfather a kid could ever hope for. An EXTREMELY smart and talented man, and even more kind. I dread the day that inherit his beautiful pair of automags. The man has been like a superhero to me, and I'd be happy to answer any of your guys' questions, or contribute information. I just saw his name mentioned on this forum and couldn't help but throw in my .02$

	That is amazing that you jumped on and joined the forum to pass along this information. Any and all information of those that had anything to do with the Auto Mag is interesting to learn about. Having a "short story" from him regarding his Auto Mag days would be great to read. Maybe he can throw something together to share and post on here? So, was he an Engineer and related to Kent Lomont as rumored?
	If you were happy and you knew it, would you clap your hands?

	I'm sure he'd love to share a short story with you guys. And no, he and Kent were not related, but very good friends from work, as they were both gun nuts. Clinton was an engineer in the rubber injection molding industry, but I forget which plant they worked at together. Kent is sort of a legend around these parts, as he was heavy into belt fed machine guns, reloading, and all sorts of large caliber weapons. My grandfather has some pretty funny stories of them clowning around together, and doing a lot of fun stuff that you couldn't get away with today. I think he still has a few big bags of laminate automag grips floating around somewhere

	Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing the info. We look foreward to more history stories! I think the laminated grips are the best looking ones on a AutoMag... Here is the old link to where Lee Jurras said that Clint and Kent Lomont were cousins: Detected the new site. - AMT Guns forum - Page 1 Oh, in case you want to offer the bags of grips for sale, you're welcome to put up an ad on the gun Classifieds section.

	I have a single set of unused Jurras Gorilla Clint Teeters (CAT) Grips grips for my mint North Hollywood. As this pistol is never fired, and the grips were only removed once from their original packaging to take photos, they won't get any wear and tear. When I open the plastic bag they came in, they still smell like the varnish Clint used to seal the wood! I sealed them back up and am going to keep them this way.
