I’m thinking about doing custom, Mamouth Ivory grips for the Auto Mag Pistol. And I was wondering if there was any interest Within the AutoMag community for something like this? I would like to get the community response to this.

If the pistol is a shooter, the grips would probably break under recoil.
Otherwise, they would look great. Jurras used ivory micarta for some of his custom guns. I really like the look. Here is a Jurras Alaskan and a Backpacker. |

Yeah, I’m not sure whether they would break or not. I do know that they put them on a lot of different types of firearms revolvers and 1911s and also for knife scales which tend to be much thinner. I would think they would do fairly fine. I don’t see any breakages with the wood, which seems to do fine, I don’t know if that be much different?

Personally I think it's a great idea! I've seen pictures of mouth tusks and molers and they're incredible! Do you have any pics?

Wooden grips have been a problem for Auto Mags since the start of production. I really don't know how the new ones are holding up. Auto Mags have always been harder on grip panels than most other pistol types. Jurras went to micarta grips as opposed to his laminated ones because of all the breakage. Alot of the pistols that have the Mamouth Tusk and Tooth grips are not shot much either. Knife stocks do not have to withstand much "force".

I met a guy at the old Glendale, CA gun show who had Mamouth Tusk grips and pieces to carve your grips from it. He had one set of grips made from "blue" Mamouth Tusk. I asked him about this and he said he bought the Mamouth Tusk material while he was visiting Siberia on vacation. The seller said he and his friends had found an old frozen watering hole. They waited until it thawed and found several Mamouth skelitons and tusks under water. The blue tusks were colored by the type of colored mudd they were in for all these years. The material was beautiful and I hope the story was true.
Just saying.......Bruce |

The colors on those test range all over the place. Blues purples reds. It’s amazing what you get out of them. That’s why I’m thinking about making them. I suppose you don’t necessarily have to shoot it with those grips on. you only put those grips on when you’re not shooting it. if I get enough of a response, I will definitely shoot mine with the grips on and see how they hold up
