Hook Hackle Winding Check ???

Anyone ever order the Knurled Check from H&H?

Can’t for the life of me figure out what color they are or how to tell what size your about to order.

I tried to call, no luck, went ahead and ordered and added special instructions to the order and followed up with email…hate to be so difficult for a 2.60 item.

Anyhow, anyone know what color they are? Chrome, Black, both?

Usually a “knurled edge” means it had a decorative, almost rope type, edge to the piece. The H&H knurled winding checks are made by Batson, in a shiny gunsmoke finish … sort of blued color? You need to measure right below where the grip is going to end, where the winding check will set, and the measuring is done with a caliper. If you don’t know what size to order, you can sometimes order 2 sizes smaller than the butt end. Fortunately, they’re not really expensive, cuz you may need to reorder after you get your grip reamed and set in place!!

Gunsmoke is not what I looking for. I have the measurement, needed one in Chrome…oh well.

What I was asking about is actually ordering one from H&H, there “seems” to be no way to tell what size your selecting…no big deal.

THANKS!!!

Check their catalogue … measured in inches, like, .225, or .360, or .476.

If you want a nice one check out Goldenwitch.

Thanks Betty!

I know how to measure, it is just ordering from the H&H site that was giving me problems.

If I get what I don’t need, I’ll probbaly throw it here for someone that does need it.

Unfortunatly the Aluminum didn’t make it so easy to choose.

Again, no big deal and thanks!

Er, the 3 digits in the H&H item number are the size. For instance, awc255s has .255" internal diameter.

Yea, I sort of figured it was the case but wasn’t sure.

In their usual fashion, the folks over at H&H took care of my order and followed my special instructions and did not ship the one I ordered as it would have been Gunsmoke.
