two-PIECE
(with SCREWHOLE) STYLE

THIS AUCTION IS FOR OUR
TWO-PIECE (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.

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

Magna-Tusk™ Ivory and Stag grips, an
exclusive of Arizona Custom Grips, are manufactured out of our
super high-grade, ultra-high density material developed exclusively for our
premium grip production.  Vastly superior to standard bonded ivory or
stag found on 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 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 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 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, artistic relief work, etc., found on many
historic grips. 

About Our Aging Process:

Unlike
the lightweight artificial yellow plastic materials sometimes offered for sale,
Magna-Tusk aged grips start out as a solid block of white virgin Magna-Tusk
Ivory.  Grip blanks are then milled from
this premium material, incorporating both CNC techniques for blanking and
finishing techniques similar to those used in manufacturing the originals.  They are then carefully aged with our
exclusive aging process, incorporating concentrated UV light (the essential
aging property in natural sunlight). 

Our process produces an authentic appearance and genuine patina
which extends into the surface, just like real ivory or stag.  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.  Accept no substitutes.  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 custom-stocked
revolvers to the range or club, where the quality difference is immediately
seen and appreciated by fellow shooters.

Magna-Tusk grips have all the authenticity of the originals, with
several improvements over original materials including increased durability,
and are made to last a lifetime.  They
feature subtle but authentic color mottling, grain variegation, and other
authentic minute details found on original old Ivory and aged Stag, as seen on
many of the revolvers which belonged to gunfighters and lawmen of the Old
West.  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!
