    Lonestar/AR style 45 grip block options?

    Other than CCI (10-12 week back order) is anyone selling a paintball specific 45 grip? I’ve found a couple for real steel AR platforms but they aren’t drilled for botttomline ASA. My Google-fu hasn’t found any and nothing on eBay. Put out a WTB on here but no responses. Any help?

      I'm not 100% certain, but you might want to get ahold of ICD. They don't do much paintball stuff these days, more real steel stuff, but I heard that if you contact them they can drill out their real steel .45 grip block for bottom line accessories...

      Since I'm not 100% on this, do contact them first to confirm before clicking add to cart.

        That ICD grip is way too bougie for this project…it costs as much as the Hammer it’s going on 😆

            Did you look at 3D printed?
            If done with a good material (ASA, PC or even PPS) you can even put a tank on it if you use washer and nuts for the ASA.

              Original Spyder Compacts used an AR-15 Lonestar attachement methed for their '45' grips. I kept the grip from my Spyder Compact and put it on my Line SI Bushmaster.

                Quick Google search: Both aluminum and polymer 1911 grip adaptersDrilling and tapping for bottom line is a simple job that can easily be handled with hand tools.

                  I contacted CCI and they had colors other than black in stock so I went with that. Maybe I’ll strip and polish it or just pick up a black one when they are back in stock. Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
