Welcome to the forum kameron454ci.
And here's another black gripped Remy pic for ya Blackpowdersmoke.
My black grip Remy. The grips have been stained such a dark brown that they appear to be black.
Just a thought here, I've never actually tried this, but if someone wanted to get their stain or dye to permeate very deeply or even all the way though the wood of the grips so that no chips would show a lighter color, I wonder if you put your dye or stain in a pressure cooker pot along with the grips and with the heat and pressure of the pressure cooker, if it might cause the stain/dye to permeate all through the wood. Anyone here ever tried that and was your wife mad at you for using her pressure cooker for that? Lol.

Wogpotter, would you please tell me where I can get a possibles bag like the one you have in this below pic? Also would love to hear a breakdown description of all the accessories (except the green satchel) you have in the below pic and where you got them from. I've got a similar holster but without the medallion. Thanks, Bill.
I'd be glad to, Bill.
The holster is from Cabela's, I added the bear print medallion, which I found at a Craft store. Its actually a button
, but it does look nice so I fitted it to the holster's strap. The belt is also from Cabela's.
The bag is called the "Leatherman double belt pouch" & comes from "www.blackpowderbags.com". From the website there:
==================
"Price:
$50.00
SKU:
DB-601
Weight:
1.00 LBS
Product Description
This bag is designed to be used by the hunter but many find it handy for other uses. The rear pocket holds 5 speed loader tubes while the front pocket can be used to store tools , cleaning gear, extra caps or flints. A loop is included on the side to hold a short starter and a pocket is incorporated between the belt loop and the rear pocket that will hold a capper or primmer ready for use. A dee is sewn into the side seam to tie off capper or primer so it will never be dropped and lost. You will love this belt bag; it is all you need to carry 5 shots into the field in a small organized package. Belt loop accepts up to a 2 1/2" belt. "
============================
It has one slim pocket at the rear & 2 larger pouches in front, the inner one is accessed by just lifting the outer one, & the outer one is secured with a thong & button. I keep stuff I need for firing in the inside one & stuff for cleaning & maintenance in the outer as the inner is easier to access. There is a loop for a short starter, or powder measure sewn into the belt loop & a tie down for accessories as well. The belt loop is very deep & will work with the widest belts.
Be warned. This is not traditionally tanned & will discolor brass if it is left in there for long periods! I soaked this one with warm water & baking soda overnight & then rinsed it & it now does not have the effects of modern tanning. I just used some clear boot polish after air drying the leather to re-soften it. After I did that it is fine.
Here's some more pics showing all the cra, err stuff
I cram in there for walking in the woods, or camping there for a week.
Here's the inside pocket with my shooting supplies.
Here's the outside one with the cleaning & maintenance stuff.
By threading a thong through some brass rings I can also convert it from a belt pouch to a shoulder strap type.
Hope that helps.

It did indeed help Wogpotter. I'm going to check out that possibles bag. I like it very much. I take WAY too much BP stuff to the range with me and have several possibles bags I keep my BP stuff in. I need to consolidate down and a bag like yours is just the ticket to replace the larger possibles bag I carry. I can leave my other bags in the car so if I need them they are there, but just carry a bag on my belt like yours instead of having a large one slung over my shoulder. Thanks for that info.

pic of black grips.
Thanks for posting pics of the black grips, kwhi43@kc.rr.com & Bill Akins. For some reason, that is something I just could not visualize no matter how hard I tried. I sure do like the looks of them, gives the revs a unique look, IMO. I have a few sets of blanks, I think I am going to stain a set repeatedly until they turn dark. Saweet!!!

The newer "gun coatings" you can buy like Alum hyde or Dura coat when applied to wood give you a very smooth finish. A gloss black would look like ebony when applied to wood grips.
Carrying your 'stuff' in the field is a pain. There are several patterns on the net for making your own possibles bag. Fun and a cheap project. Don't leave home without it.
This project brought back memories of jr high shop classes and doing leather work. Sharp tools and a sewing machine are 90% of the battle.
You can find hundreds of different style "concho's" on evil bay to dress up your leather.

Looks very nice. I prefer a higher gloss vs the matte finish though. But each to their own.
