THIS AUCTION IS FOR OUR
ONE-PIECE (NO SCREWHOLE) STYLE GRIPS.  SEE BELOW.

********

ONE-PIECE VS. TWO-PIECE STYLE GRIPS:

A Choice for Every
User! Two-Piece style grips incorporate a visible screw and screwhole, allowing
easy and quick removal for cleaning or maintenance of your revolver.  One-piece style grips do not use a screw but
instead use an internal spacer.  Both
styles are traditional and historical designs and both were originally used on
early Colts, so it is a matter of personal preference.  Both styles of our grips will interchange
and work on either style of grip frame. 
See below.

One-Piece style grips (i.e., grips
which do not have a visible screwhole in the grips) incorporate a user
installed spacer (included with the grips) between the grip panels, as seen on
many of the early Colts.  The spacer is
sent unmounted to ensure optimum fit with your revolver, with simple, quick
installation which takes about one minute or so per grip.  Fully illustrated instructions are
included.  This results in a rock-tight
fit, without the need of a screw.  Preferred
by many collectors for their clean lines and traditional look. One-Piece style
grips are removed by removing the three backstrap screws, and pulling the grip
and backstrap backwards.  Reinstallation
is in reverse order. 

Alternatively, our Two-Piece style
grips (i.e., grips with a visible screw and screwhole) offer the superior
convenience of quick grip removal.  They include
a free Conversion kit, allowing
their use on revolvers that are currently using one-piece style grips that do
not have a grip pin.  The conversion kit replaces
the need for a grip pin and is actually a stronger design, and allows the grips
to lock up tight on the frame, allowing no movement.  This
requires no modification to your revolver and 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.  01042300

WHAT THESE WILL FIT (Please read this through in its
entirety):

These grips WILL FIT the Colt 1851 Navy 2nd Generation revolvers ONLY.  These will fit BOTH the “C” and the “F” series 2^nd
Generation revolvers (so distinguishing between the two is not important when
purchasing our grips).  The 2^nd
Generation revolvers were produced beginning in 1971 until production ceased in
1982.  However, Special and Limited
editions of the 2^nd Generation revolvers continued to be issued from
the Colt Custom Shop however until the mid 1990s. 

Please note that these grips WILL NOT FIT the 1st Generation (Original
19^th Century production), OR
the 20^TH Century 3rd Generation (“Signature Series”) models.  If
you have one of these models, please contact us for custom fitting options.

Note: the 2^nd Generation Colt ’51 Navys
can be easily distinguished from the 3^rd Generation Navys by
examining the backstrap.  The 3^rd
Gen. revolvers have Sam Colt’s signature engraved into the backstrap.  The 2^nd Generation revolvers do
not have this engraving, but are left smooth.

Also, please note that these will NOT fit any revolvers of any
different maker, including the Uberti, Pietta, or any other Italian or
non-Italian clones.  If you have one of these, please see our store
categories for the proper grips, or drop us an email and we will be 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.

About Our Aging Process:

We
go to great efforts to ensure that our Aged Ivory or Stag not only looks similar to, but in fact looks identical to the real thing.  Our Magna-Tusk blanks will produce an aged
Ivory grip unlike any other material made today.  Our aged grips feature an
authentic aged patina, just like the originals, with a process incorporating
concentrated U.V. light (the essential aging property in natural sunlight), along
with a developer/control agent that is put on the grips to carefully control
U.V. absorption, in a sealed, high-oxygen environment to accelerate the natural
aging process. 

Through
this aging process, these grips become beautifully mottled, variegated, and
weathered just like old, antique Ivory,
and incorporate other authentic details found on original old Ivory as seen on
many of the revolvers which belonged to gunfighters and lawmen of the Old West.  As with real aged Ivory, Magna-Tusk develops
a variegated patina due to its authentic grain structure, and natural aging
produces an authentic appearance and genuine patina which extends into and
below the surface.  Not only does this give it the appearance of authenticity
and depth, but this surface will not chip, crack, or peel like a superficially
applied coating.  With Magna-Tusk aged
grips, most experts cannot tell them apart from a decades-old or even a
centuries-old original.  While the
quality difference is somewhat noticeable in the photos, the difference is even
more apparent when seen and handled in person. 
Many of our repeat sales are made by the very customers we sell to, who
take their grips to the range, where our grips are immediately seen and noticed
by others.  If you are interested in
ordering grips for a Brace of pistols, please order both sets together, and we
will ensure a better matchup when selecting pairs. 

Dense, heavy, and solid, Magna-Tusk grips are in a class all their
own. With our exclusive aging process, these grips
are outstanding right out of the box, and will continue to improve over
time.  The more these grips are handled
and used, the better they look!
