two-PIECE
(with SCREWHOLE) STYLE

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

********

A Choice for Every
User! Two-Piece grips, in addition to a visible screw, have a grip pin installed
in the grip frame to help hold them in place. 
One-Piece grips (grips with no visible screw) use a spacer between the
panels, with no screw and no grip pin.  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.  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. 
Our One-Piece style grips will work on either style gripframe (either
One-Piece or Two-Piece style grip frames). 
Fully illustrated instructions included for quick and easy installation.

Alternatively, our Two-Piece style
grips (i.e., grips with a visible screw) offer the superior convenience of
quick grip removal.  Unlike with
One-Piece grips, the backstrap need not be removed to remove the grips for
cleaning and maintenance of the revolver. 
Our Two-Piece grips include a free Conversion kit (allowing their use on One-Piece style frames) which
replaces the need for a grip pin and is actually a stronger design, and allows
the grips to lock up tight, 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.  07082200

WHAT THESE WILL FIT:

Brand New, unused grips
for the PIETTA THUNDERBALL revolvers. 

 These will
also fit the following, all of which are made by Pietta and have the “humped
curve” backstrap style gripframe:

* Cimarron El Malo 2, 

* Cimarron Huckleberry
(and similar Engraved revolvers made by Pietta), 

* Taylor’s & Co.
Flattop Birdshead,

* EMF Pony Express or
Express Agent, 

* EMF Alchimista Jr.,

* Pietta 1851 Navy

* Pietta 1860 Army

PLEASE NOTE: This auction is for the revolvers which
have the HUMPED CURVE on the backstrap, and will NOT fit
the somewhat similar Pietta Birdshead style, which has a smooth curved
backstrap.  Please also note that these will NOT fit standard “plowhandle” style gripframes.  Your gripframe MUST be the “humped curve”
backstrap style for these to fit.  Please
take a close look at the pictures and carefully note the
difference.  

Also please note that
these are made for the Pietta revolvers ONLY, and will NOT fit
the Uberti Thunderer, or any other brand of revolver.  Pietta
revolvers only.

We have a large
selection of grips for these other revolvers, including both the Pietta and the
Uberti Birdsheads, so please see our other listings, or drop us an email if you
cannot find what you need.  We are always
happy to help.

Arizona Custom Grips

About our exclusive Magna-Tusk™ “Hi-Grade” Ivory Grips:

Magna-Tusk™ Ivory grips, an exclusive of Arizona
Custom Grips, are manufactured out of a super high-grade, ultra-high
density Ivory material developed exclusively for our premium grip
production.  Vastly superior to standard
bonded ivory found on factory and other aftermarket Ivory grips, Magna-Tusk™ is
capable of withstanding the heaviest recoil and impact, and is the toughest
alternative ivory material available today, while still retaining the pristine
look of real ivory.  It is completely
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, 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 and synthetic compounds to produce outstanding
aesthetic properties and mechanical performance.  When aged with our exclusive 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, imitation stag, etc.,
found on many historic grips.  

About Our Aging Process:  The best Aged Ivory grips start
with the best materials.  Unlike the
commonly available “solid yellow” plastic grips which detract from the
appearance and handling of a revolver or firearm, our Aged Ivory grips are made
out of the best components available, incorporate natural materials, and
feature a genuine, authentic patina. 
Their authenticity is so convincing that many experts cannot tell it
apart from real Ivory.  The difference is
noticeable even in the photos, but is even more apparent in person.  These grips feature authentic color mottling,
variegation, and subtle wear marks as seen on many of the revolvers which
belonged to gunfighters and lawmen of the Old West. 

We offer the
highest quality, most authentic imitation Aged Ivory grips available anywhere
on the market. 

Our process
utilizes concentrated UV light (the essential aging property in natural
sunlight), and in addition employing heat and pressure in a special controlled
high oxygen-rich environment which accelerates the aging process.  Unlike a painted surface, our patina actually
extends below the surface, into
the grip material itself.  Not
only does it look better to begin with, but will not chip, crack, or peel, like
superficially applied surfaces.  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, just like any genuine patina, the better
they look! 

Grip screw included
with all grips.

satisfaction is important to us – we guarantee we will do our best to ensure
