My brother has an 1847 Walker colt replica from Traditions. It unfortunately has some really unattractive wood grips on it. They are a dull brown with no finish to them.

Either I take them off and stain them myself, or perhaps purchase new ones from another company, but I don't know where to get them. Any suggestions for that?

I tend to think that a replica grip won't be made to fit, and that the chances of getting grips that need work to get them to fit make it unwise to buy some.

So I would probably look more for help on how to stain the grips?
