two-PIECE (with SCREWHOLE) STYLE

THIS AUCTION IS FOR OUR TWO-PIECE (SCREWHOLE) STYLE GRIPS.  SEE BELOW.

********

Note: ANY of our grips, whether ONE-PIECE OR TWO PIECE style, will interchange and work on either style of grip frame.

One-Piece style grips (i.e., grips which do not have a visible screwhole) incorporate a user installed spacer between the grip panels, as found on many of the early Colts.  This results in a rock-tight fit, without the use of a screw.  Preferred by many collectors for their clean lines and traditional look, One-Piece style grips can be removed by removing the three backstrap screws, and pulling the grip and strap backwards.  Reinstallation is in reverse order.  Note: if using One-Piece style grips on gripframes currently set up for Two-Piece grips (i.e., frames where there is a grip pin installed in the frame), the grip pin must first be pressed or tapped out of the frame prior to installation to enable later removal of the grips.

Alternatively, our Two-Piece style grips offer the superior convenience of quick grip removal (i.e., the backstrap need not be removed to remove the grips).  Our Two-Piece grips will also work on either style of gripframe.  In addition to the screw and pre-installed hardware, our Two-Piece grips come with our exclusive free Conversion Kit to enable their use on a One-Piece style grip frame without any modification to your revolver.  Our conversion kit replaces the need for a grip pin and is actually a stronger design, and locks the grips up tight against the frame, allowing no movement.  This gives you the advantage of the ease of maintenance of Two-Piece grips, while preserving the integrity of your revolver in original factory condition.  Two-Piece style grips were also used on many of the early Colts, and are a traditional and iconic historical design, offering a distinctive look and convenience preferred by many collectors.

Fully illustrated, detailed instructions are included with each set of grips.  12122100

What these will fit:

This auction is for a set of Genuine Magna-Tusk™ grips for the AMERICAN WESTERN ARMS “Peacekeeper”, “Longhorn”, “Classic” and/or “Ultimate” Model 1873 SAA style revolvers. 

American Western Arms (AWA) first began importing parts for their 1873 revolver around the year 1998, with finishing and assembly being performed in the United States.  The Longhorn was the basic model, while the Peacekeeper featured a higher quality of fit and finish.  After being successfully sued by Colt for Trademark (“Trade Dress”) infringement, AWA made the appropriate changes (including removing the name “Peacekeeper” from their production), and began marketing their 1873 as the “Classic” and “Ultimate”.

AWA issued their revolvers with both one-piece and two-piece grip configurations.  As stated above, no matter which frame type you have, both our One-Piece and Two-Piece style grips will work with either frame type.  If your revolver has a grip pin installed, it may be necessary to remove it and use our conversion kit if purchasing a set of Two-Piece style grips.  Full instructions included.

What these will NOT fit: 

Please note that these grips are made to fit ONLY the AMERICAN WESTERN ARMS (“AWA”) Single Action revolvers and will NOT fit any revolvers from other makers (such as Uberti, Colt, Ruger, etc.).  Please drop us an email if you have any questions, we are always happy to help.

Arizona Custom Grips

About Magna-Tusk™ Ivory and Stag Grips:

 Magna-Tusk™ Ivory and Stag grips, a product of Arizona Custom Grips, are manufactured out of our high-grade, high density ivory material designed from the beginning as a premium, high-strength grip material.  Vastly superior to standard bonded ivory or stag found on most factory and other aftermarket grips, Magna-Tusk™ is capable of withstanding the heaviest recoil and impact, and is the toughest alternative grip material available today, while still retaining the pristine look of real ivory or stag.  It is rock-solid, stable, and water, chemical, and oil resistant.  It is flame and heat resistant, and is entirely void-free, with over 10x the strength, durability, and impact resistance of alternative materials.  Unlike with real ivory or stag, there is no routine care and maintenance involved, with no danger of it drying out and cracking if not maintained properly or if left in the heat.  It is filled with premium natural compounds to produce outstanding aesthetic properties and mechanical performance.  When aged with our natural aging process, it takes on the equivalent of a 100-year-old patina, with subtle grain details which many experts cannot tell apart from the real thing.  In addition, the material has a fine grain structure, which holds intricate detail for carvings, artistic relief work, etc., found on many historic grips.
