pretty decent fit. Direct drop in replacement for the standard A2 grip that ships with the gun and IMHO better feeling / looking.

This thing is a monster Twisted Evil, hell I had to bore and grommet (neat freak yes) a hole in the shelf inside my gun safe just to make room for the length of it!

Anyhow here's a shot of how this grip fits, as close to perfect as you'll get w/o actually keeping the grip it ships with.

I should note that Hogue also seems to make a standard A2 grip...it might fit even better. However that grip doesn't have the palm rest that the Falcon one does.

The Falcon one is pretty much perfect, it's just that there's this part at the very front by those nubs flanking the trigger guard where it seems as if though the trigger guard on the rifle should drop down a tiny bit more. The end result is if you flip the rifle over and look there's maybe a 1/8" vertical area which is not covered. It's not an open hole, it's just more of the surface that butts up against the back side of the trigger gaurd. This is one of those situations where a picture is worth a thousand words...

I was the originator of that grip when I owned Stock Options in Santa Ana, California....Falcon knocked me off big time.

I had people actually knocking me off and using my grips for their casting masters. They didn't even bother to change it. In fact, buyers were returning these knock-offs back to me expecting me to refund their money for garbage grips from these other companies. The worst was this scumbag company out of Colorado... no creativity, just steal, steal, steal.

If anyone has ever produced a product from their own shop and has been copied blantantly, you know what I mean.

Well that pretty much sucks. I suppose though there's really only so many ways to skin a cat when it comes to grips. What aspect of it did they rip off from you?

The surface finish? That's the only aspect of it that seems particularly unique...beyond that it's a fairly standard, "ergonomic" grip style.

These things smell like the death when you take them out of the bag at first. I dunno what the hell they're made of but for about the first month every time I'd open my gun safe I'd take a step back!!!

They ripped off everything including the finish almost to a T. The shape is the same and the actual way it is put together is a match as well.
