That handle has had a lot of modifications but it looks great.
Much better with the checkering removed IMHO.
Enjoy Kuch !

2 different risers, Philip.  They have both seen many hours in the woods and taken a few critters.

Hi Kuch,
I thought it was the checkered riser that had been sanded down and restored.

The modified shelf on the non checkered riser was done nicely. Looks great! I see it also has an added upper bushing like the checkered riser.
That's what confused me. There both very cool risers!
 
Its great that you hunt with them still. Enjoy!

Kuch, great handles.  Glad to see you are hunting with them also.  My B has the same shelf mods as your A and it fits and feels like a 'leather glove'.  Good job.

Danny

So you finally found another one. Can't say I blame you the one you sold me is still my pride & joy. Hope this time finacial situations can stay away from you so you can hang onto this beauty.

Enjoy!!!

Very nice riser there; I agree with Chad to have his risers modified as he more likes them,at the end they are his to go bows and the same Fred modified his personals.
Danny I have already seen your new set,I am glad you are a happy camper now.LOL

I noticed toward the start of the thread that Wade wrote "If you notice the refinished riser in my photograph A-1319 also does not have the bushing you asked about.

Maybe that should be our first study question...

Note John's A-1262 does not have a bushing but his A-1945 does have one...

After we have seen a larger sample size, we can begin to establish a better pattern and perhaps draw some conclusions..."

Well my A handle is 1297 and has a bushing. That is only 35 away from Johns 1262 with no bushing. Hope this helps narrow things down.

Even closer to above statement only 4 numbers difference. If the mystery has been solved someone please let me know. Lots of pages to weed through here. "and then A-1194 owner on 10-10-99 was Lynn...I still have over 15 years of ledgers to read.
I don't want to sound like some wise ass but is the info on this thread going to be sold or profited off of in any way by anyone ? What the heck I'am just asking ??? bd PS HEY BERNIE THIS ONE SAYS NO BUSHING sorry about that...bd"
