VIRGINIAN DRAGOON (INTERARMS) MAGNA-TUSK™ AGED DISTRESSED IVORY GRIPS

Description: Arizona Custom GripsINTERARMSVIRGINIAN DRAGOONSINGLE ACTION REVOLVERS~ Exclusive ~ MAGNA-TUSK™Aged distressed ivory GRIPS 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. 081420 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! 112219 Grip screw included with all grips.
