MAGNA-TUSK™

Aged ivory GRIPS

Milled out of a
solid block of Magna-Tusk, manufactured by us exclusively for grip production;
denser and heavier than regular Ivory or Stag.  Please Note: Magna-Tusk is a
proprietary ivory substitute material, and is not genuine
ivory.  Magna-Tusk has the beauty of real ivory but with enhanced stability and
longevity and is an ideal grip material.  See below for details.

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

Brand New, unused grips
for the U.S. Fire Arms (USFA) Single Action Army revolvers.  This includes all of the Standard USFA
models, the Rodeo models, and the Cowboy models. 

Please read through the
following section in its entirety, and note that we will need some additional
information so that we can get you the correct grips.

U.S. Fire Arms Mfg. Co.
was located in Hartford, Connecticut and operated out of Colt’s original Armory
complex, and ceased active production in 2011. 
 

During USFA’s operations,
there were various grip frame variations made by USFA between the different
makes and models.  After your purchase,
please send us your serial number
so we can determine which revolver and which gripframe you have, and also
please let us know how far your grip
pin sits back from the front edge of the frontstrap.  It should sit back either right around ¼”, or
alternatively 7/16”.  Please see the
second picture above to see how to measure this.

Please note that these are
ONLY for USFA revolvers, and WILL NOT
FIT any of the Colt SAA’s, nor any of the Uberti, Pietta, or other Italian
clones, Rugers, etc.  We make grips for
these other revolvers as well, so please see our store if you have a different
model, or drop us an email if you cannot find what you need.  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 exclusively 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!
