Just saw "3:10 to Yuma", and I loved Russell Crowe's Crucifx Grips on his gun. Any one know if any one out there is making it for sale?

                If you want to do this yourself, you can buy the cross that you want, you'll want gold , anything else will rub off. take the cross and place it on the side that you want it, ( if you don't have wood grips, you'll need to do that first ) now you need to make a template of the cross on a piece of papper, by drawing around the cross, then use an exato knife or utility knife, to cut the cross out, its ok to go close when cutting ,( just remember this is what your going to use to inlet the wood on your grip, so you want the template to be as close to actual size as possible) now you want to put some paper paste or something that will stick the paper cross to the grip,stick the cross to the grip now, make shure it's not going to move on you when you draw an outline of the cross on the wood grip, use the exato knife or a fine tip pen. After you have the outline on the grip, all you have to do now is tape the grip panel to a piece of wood or something, so that it wont move around on you. then use a Dremel tool with a small grinding head,( if you haven't done this before practice on a spare piece of wood ) start removing a little wood at a time, and only go as deep as you want to inset the cross, you'll also have to use the exato knife to do the corners.. When you have done this , and everything fits the way you want it , then you can use a good epoxy, let it set up for the time listed ( I like 2 days its over kill I know , but it makes me feel better ) Also it would be a good idea to take the grip panel with you when you go shopping, crosses come in to many sizes, you want to make shure it will look wright .

                                           Mongo I hope this is some help to, you can do this youself, just take your time and go easy ;)
