Tundra1 391 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 There are a few vendors on EBAY selling hardwood grips from Thailand for great prices. I just ordered a checkered set for my CZ for 38.99, free shipping. The pictures shown in the listing looked very nice. Lots of good feedback. Cheap and free shipping. I bit. Figured for the price I would see what they were all about. Has anyone ever ordered grips from any of these vendors from Thailand? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Be careful about the species of wood they're using... You could find your grips confiscated by US Customs & your money gone. The seller would technically have fulfilled his obligations. Caveat Emptor! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tundra1 391 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 They did not specify wood type in the listing. It just said hardwood. Are certain wood variants not allowed to be imported? Could anyone even differentiate a species via x-ray etc.? I've brought lots of wooden trinkets, tiki dolls, etc. back from different parts of the Carribean several times, no prob. Hopefully all goes well, I was actually more concerned I'd get veneered plywood more than anything. Appreciate the heads up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mancat 2,368 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Yep customs has seized imports of certain types of wood before. They even raided Gibson guitars and seized tons of imported wood. Gibson recently won a court case against the top, but I don't know if this has established any case law preventing such thing from occurring again. A lot of these wood sets are sold as "for airsoft" and fitment may vary depending on what you want to install them on. Good luck. which Cz? I need some nice wood grips for my 82s 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tundra1 391 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 These are for a 75b. Seller's Ebay ID is th-witaya. A few sellers from Thailand have them listed for multiple firearms. Check em out. I would post a link but my computer illiterate ass is on a tablet with no idea how to do it from this device. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,743 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 If the grips are from a guy named Jaruwan P., he's legit and sometimes you have to wait because he has to wait for wood. His grips are beautiful, very high quality, and extremely reasonably priced. . . 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sobrenegade 795 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Great now I have wood on my mind! I think I like those better than the wood Hogue I've got on my six shooters. Dad, you beat me to it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,743 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Great now I have wood on my mind! I think I like those better than the wood Hogue I've got on my six shooters. Dad, you beat me to it They are nicer than Hogue grips, and about half the price. I paid $38 + $15 shipping from Thailand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaddis 1,689 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Great now I have wood on my mind! Just wait until Gaddis finds out! Well, these are Ivory (as compared to veined black mahogany which they would probably prefer ), but didn't the Kardashian girls put a new line of handgun grips out? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tundra1 391 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Grips for the CZ finally arrived. I'm pretty impressed with these actually. Awesome price if you're willing to wait a little while for them to get here from Thailand. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
semper299 284 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Those look great. Might have to check that listing out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
