TWO-PIECE STYLE GRIPS EXPLAINED:Note: One-Piece style grips do not have a visible screw but instead use an internal spacer to mount the grips. Two-Piece style grips incorporate a visible screw, allowing easy and quick removal for cleaning or maintenance of your revolver. We manufacture both types. Both styles of our grips will interchange and work on either style of grip frame, no matter how your revolver is currently set up. Both styles are traditional and historical designs and both were originally used on early Colts, so whichever style you choose is really a matter of personal preference. One-Piece style grips (i.e., grips with no visible screwhole in the grips) incorporate a spacer (included with the grips) which is user mounted to the inside of the grip panels to hold them in place instead of a using a screw. To ensure optimum fit and best performance, the spacer is sent unmounted since all gripframes vary slightly in inside dimensions. Installation is simple and generally takes only a few minutes. Illustrated instructions included with each order. This results in a rock-tight fit, without the need of a screw. One-Piece grips are preferred by many collectors for their clean lines and traditional look, and are seen on many early Colts. Once mounted, they are fully removable by removing the three backstrap screws, and will not alter your revolver in any way. Reinstallation is in reverse order. Alternatively, our Two-Piece style grips (i.e., grips with a visible screw) offer the superior convenience of quick grip removal using only the screw (also included with the grips). Our Two-Piece style grips also include our proprietary Conversion Kit, allowing their use on revolvers that do not have a grip pin in the frame (as is the case with most Italian-made revolvers and others that currently have a one-piece style grip). 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. Two-piece grips give you the advantage of easier access to your revolver for cleaning and maintenance, 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 shooters and collectors.Fully illustrated, easy-to-follow mounting instructions are included with every order. [Rev 231228]~~~~~The legendary Colt 1851 Navy, a 36 Caliber Cap & Ball revolver designed by Sam Colt, was manufactured in Hartford, CT starting in the 1850’s and continued on into the 1870’s. In 1873, it was superceded by the Colt 1873 Single Action Army, which fired metallic cartridges and became a legend in its own right. To many, the handling qualities and the size and shape of the Navy grip frame was and is unsurpassed, even by today’s standards. It was the grip frame that the later Colt 1873 Single Action Army was based on. As such, both the ’51 Navy and the 1873 SAA are deemed by many to be two of the most naturally pointing revolvers ever designed. With an elegant and svelte profile, the ’51 Navy grip frame facilitates ultra-fast handling, and rapid, instinctive aiming. It was the preferred sidearm by many seasoned gunfighters of the Old West. Bringing the Navy revolver into quick action by experienced gunmen was more of an exercise in instinctual tactile feel rather than ponderous, time-consuming deliberation. The Navy revolvers can be easily distinguished from the later Colt 1873 Single Action Army because they do not have a top strap (the section of steel located over the top of the cylinder, where the rear sight trough is located on the 1873).

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! 030120 Grip screw included with all grips. The photo used is a stock photo (a sample pair). Yours will appear similar to these.
