distressed iVORY

The
Uberti Birdshead is the ideal concealable revolver for today’s Western
enthusiast. The bird’s head grip design has been incorporated into Uberti’s Cattleman series
of 1873 Single Action Army revolvers in both standard and Stallion designs.
They are available in various barrel lengths and calibers.

The bird’s head grip was originally designed for Colt
Derringers in the 1850s. In 1877, Colt incorporated the distinctive and
comfortable grip style into full-frame revolvers called Bird’s Head
Colts.

two-PIECE (with SCREWHOLE) STYLE

One-Piece
vs. Two-Piece Grips: Many people prefer the clean lines of
a grip without a screwhole (One-Piece), while others prefer the look and
convenience of a Two-Piece grip (with a screw), which is easier to remove for
cleaning or maintenance.  Both styles
were originally made by Colt in the 1800’s, and both are historically
correct.  Whichever style you choose
really depends on the look you are after. 
We manufacture both styles.

Note:
ANY of our grips, whether ONE-PIECE OR TWO PIECE style, will interchange
and work on either style of grip frame. 

THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE TWO-PIECE (SCREWHOLE) STYLE.

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).  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. 

Grip screw, conversion kit, and
full instructions with illustrations are included with each set of grips. 

Whichever style you choose, you
are guaranteed to get the best quality grips on the market, made to last a
lifetime, for your shooting pleasure and enjoyment.

WHAT
THESE WILL FIT (Please read this through in its entirety):

Brand New, unused grips for the
UBERTI BIRDSHEAD 1873 Single Action Army style revolvers.  These
grips will fit all Uberti Birdshead
revolvers, no matter who they are marketed through in the United States (Navy
Arms, Cimarron, Taylors & Co., Stoeger, etc.).  

*PLEASE NOTE – IMPORTANT!!:  

If your Birdshead revolver is a “Doc Holliday” 1873 Cattleman birdshead, a
“Uberti Bonney” 1873 Cattleman birdshead,
a “Kenda Leseigne birdshead”, or a “Uberti Short Stroke CMS Pro” birdshead, please
let us know via email immediately after the purchase, as these have special
grip requirements.  If you do not have
one of these specially designated Birdshead revolvers, you have a standard
birdshead and there is no need to send an email.

WHAT THESE WILL NOT FIT: this auction is for a Birdshead style grip, which has a smooth
curve on the backstrap, and will NOT
fit the somewhat similar Thunderer style revolvers (also made by Uberti and
marketed by Cimarron), which have a hump on the backstrap.  Please
take a look at the pictures carefully to note the difference.  If you
have a Thunderer style grip, please visit our store or check our other auctions
to find the correct grip.  Or you can also click “Uberti” under our
Store Categories section at the left of this page.  

Please send us an email and tell us your
specific model if you cannot locate what you need, or if you have any
questions.  We are always 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 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.
