What these will fit:
(Please read thoroughly)

This auction is for a
set of Genuine Magna-Tusk™ grips for the INTERARMS VIRGINIAN DRAGOON revolvers. 
The Virginian revolvers were produced from 1973 to 1984 and were offered
in a number of calibers and configurations. 

Please note that Interarms originally imported the Hammerli (Swiss) made
“Virginian” revolver from 1973 to
1976, after which time Interarms began manufacturing the “VIRGINIAN DRAGOON” revolver in the United States.  The U.S. made Virginian Dragoon revolver is a
heavier and more robust revolver than the smaller Hammerli version, and uses
different grips. 

These grips will only
fit the heavier U.S. made VIRGINIAN DRAGOON revolvers, and will NOT fit the earlier
Swiss made Hammerli “Virginian” revolver. 

These two revolvers can easily be distinguished.  The U.S. made VIRGINIAN DRAGOON revolver has
a solid one-piece gripframe (i.e., the backstrap and the triggerguard are all
one solid piece), whereas the Hammerli version has a screw at the bottom of the
gripframe holding the triggerguard to the backstrap, similar to the Colt
SAA.  Please check the bottom of your
gripframe and verify that there is NO bottom screw.  See the photo for a closeup view of the correct
U.S. made VIRGINIAN DRAGOON frame.  There
should be NO screw.

In addition, because of varying grip pin placement in the Virginian
revolvers over the years, we have made the grip pin holes slightly
oversized.  For optimum fit, a small
amount of epoxy or J.B. Weld (not included) will be required to partially fill
the oversized grip pin holes in the back of the grip to bed the grips for the
optimum fit when first putting on the grips. 
Full, easy to follow instructions included with the grips.

If you have any questions or are unsure if you have the correct
revolver, please drop us an email.  We
will be happy to help.

For an additional
charge, custom fitting is an option.  We can also make a custom
fitted grip if you have the Hammerli version. 
Please contact us for further details if you are interested in custom
fitting.

Arizona Custom Grips

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 being
finished and polished with the same process 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), in a hermetically sealed environment. 

Although this process is a much slower process than artificial
coloring methods, the result speaks for itself. 
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!
