oNE-PIECE
(nO SCREWHOLE) STYLE

THIS AUCTION IS FOR OUR
ONE-PIECE (NO 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

These grips WILL FIT the UBERTI 1860
Army Cap & Ball (Black Powder Percussion) revolvers ONLY. 

These revolvers are
commonly imported by Cimarron, Taylor’s & Co., Dixie Gun Works, etc.  No matter who the importer was, it is
important that you please check your revolver and verify that it was made by
Uberti.

IMPORTANT!! (Please read the following in its
entirety):

Please note that these WILL NOT FIT the Uberti 1860
Army Cartridge Conversion revolvers.  Cartridge Conversion revolvers are 1860 Army
revolvers set up by the Uberti factory to use metallic cartridges, and not Percussion
caps.  If your revolver was set up by the
factory to fire metallic cartridges, these grips WILL NOT fit.  You can find the correct grips for your
Cartridge Conversion revolver in our store, or please email for assistance.

Note that if you are using a “Conversion
Cylinder” in a revolver that originally shipped from the factory set up for Cap
& Ball (Percussion), then you still have a Cap & Ball revolver gripframe
and these grips WILL work.  The important
thing to note is how the revolver was originally set up by the factory.

Also please note that the Uberti
1860 Army grips measure around 3-3/8”
tall.  These WILL NOT FIT the shorter 3-1/8” tall gripframes such as used on the
1851 Navy.  It is important to double
check your grip height before ordering, to make sure that you are purchasing
the correct grips for your revolver.  With
your existing grips standing up on a table, measure up from the table to the upper
tip of the nose.

Finally, please note
that these will NOT fit
revolvers made by Pietta, Colt, Armi San Marco, or any other make of 1860 Army revolver.  These
will ONLY fit the Uberti.

We have grips for most of the other makes and models of
revolvers.  You can find many of these in
our store.  If you have any questions or
cannot find what you need, please drop us an email.  We will be happy to help.

A note on the
Italian-produced Revolvers:

The Italian firms,
located in Northern Italy, have been making SAA style revolvers now for well
over a half century, and have made a huge number of makes and models and grip
frame profiles with varying configurations over the years.  We have an
in-depth knowledge of the differing grip configurations, have a large library
of gripframe variations from the various makers both old and new, and have vast
experience making grips for Uberti, Pietta, Armi San Marco, and the other
Italian gunmaking firms.   Our experienced makers go to great lengths
to ensure an exacting fit, including utilizing modern precision CNC production
techniques, as well as incorporating old-time hand tuning and hand checking the
fit of every grip on our reference frames prior to leaving our factory. 
We have a long list of many satisfied customers in the shooting industry who
have purchased grips to use in a wide variety of applications, and we can
safely and confidently guarantee proper fit and finish to your complete
satisfaction.

For an additional charge, custom fitting is an option. 
Please contact us for further details if you are interested in custom fitting.

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!
