 MAGNA-TUSK™

Aged ivory GRIPS

Milled out of a solid block of Magna-Tusk, denser and heavier than regular Ivory or Stag (see below for details)

Brand New!!

Note: Our grips feature the historically correct Colt two-piece design (with a screw), which is the original configuration as developed by Colt on their Lightning and Thunderer revolvers.

ALL OF OUR TWO-PIECE GRIPS WILL WORK ON ONE-PIECE GRIP FRAMES

We include, free of charge, a conversion kit which allows these two-piece grips to mount onto a one-piece style grip frame (without a grip pin in the frame).  Our conversion kit replaces the need for a grip pin and is actually a stronger design, and locks the grips tightly 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.  Easy installation instructions and grip screw included.  6.3.20

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, 

* Taylor’s & Co. Flattop Birdshead,

* EMF Pony Express or Express Agent, 

* EMF Alchimista Jr.,

* Pietta 1851 Navy Snubnose (sold by Taylor’s, Dixie, etc.), 

* 1851 Yank Snubnose (sold by Taylor’s, Dixie, etc.), 

* Pietta 1860 Army Snubnose (sold by Taylor’s, EMF, etc.)

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.
