Found this wonderful site that makes pistol grips in right and left handed! I ordered a set of grips last night, made to order so six weeks plus shipping time.

Rink has been known in the 10m world for a long time. They do excellent work. I have a Rink shoulder stock for my Ataman AP16 and really like it. They've expanded their pistol grip / pistol/carbine options a lot over the past year or two.

Have a Toz rink free pistol grip, prefer Morini as it fits better but they aren't available for all models. Currently looking at the S Grip as an alternative but might get another Rink soon.

Sport Shooting Depot has some in stock as well. They may have what you need, ready to go. I needed a XXL, and they were able to put my grip on an existing order. Only took a couple of weeks.

I have a set for my AV 46m that arrived at the post office this morning, but today is Fed Holiday so no delivery until tomorrow.

Mine arrived early this afternoon. Very tight fit, had to tap them on with a small mallet. Fit on the right side was so tight that it was hard to cock the breechblock. I had to scrape just a little inside the grip, and perfect. Downside, Rink sent the wrong size piece for the cocking lever,and no screw for it, as the AV screw is not correct. I sent them an email but it was probably after closing in Germany, will see what they can do. If all else fails, I can make that piece fairly easily.

Mr Rink sent out the correctely inletted cocking lever piece. Very fast, excellent service. I told him that I honestly did not know if I had originally specified the incorrect size as all the invoice, description is in German and I cannot read it.
Will probably be ordering some for a FWB 65 in near future.

The grips I ordered have been lost by the USPS. Rink doesn't care, they have my euros. I have opened up two cases with USPS. Each time they tell me my local branch has the package and then they close the case. Go to my local USPS and they tell me they do not have it. Package has gone as far as Washington State and back to Michigan. Rink tells me they are insured. Now I have to dance with some DHL insurance company (In German of course) or charge it back on my credit card. How can the USPS survive with this much incompetence?

The saga is finally over. The local USPS facility had the package sitting on a shelf for eight days. It was not until I opened a case with the Consumer Affairs Office that they somehow managed to locate the package. I filed a complaint against the local postmaster and staff for gross negligence. How the USPS can stay in business is beyond me. We should poop can them and use a private company.
The grips are OK, would have preferred to buy American but I could not find a vendor. Now I can shoot the damn pistol.

@DARKHORSE1967 Minor detail! I ordered the grips for a Baikal IZH-46M. The pistol came from Canada Shooting Supply. Great pistol and powerful for a SSP. Nice price and unobtanium in the US.

The only left handed ones come from PA. After going through the USPS HELL for aftermarket grips, I would purchase the left handed model from PA.

I got mine from PA, and had the laminated grips split in two places. The palm rest, the piece that wraps around the grips had a small piece split completely off, I did repair by epoxying it back then drilling and putting a steel pin to prevent further splitting, then I discovered a spot on the right side hidden where that part is clamped on that had split also I think I would order the right hand model for $100 less than the left handed model and use that to get a set of rink grips which fit the hand much better. Just my opinion after replacing those laminate grips, also I was not a fan of the color.

maxtrouble: Went the same route for my Baikal and I hope that I don't run into the same problems, but I know what to expect if I do. Thanks for the heads-up!
