I had earlier mentioned the Galazan straight grip guards for Parkers. I just got mine in the mail that I ordered for my old lifter. It is good, but not an exact reproduction. They got the thread pitch correct and it screws right on. The tang is about an inch shorter than an original parker guard and the screw holes are spaced closer together as well. The screw holes are drilled, but not countersunk. Also the actual guard loop is a bit more rounded than the originals. Also, the angles of the end of the tang are too sharp, but that can be corrected with a file.
Basically, they are good for new work, but not as a replacement on an existing stock.
