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

Description: Arizona Custom Grips INTERARMS VIRGINIAN DRAGOON SINGLE ACTION REVOLVERS ~ Exclusive ~ MAGNA-TUSK™ Aged 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. R081420Arizona Custom Grips About Magna-Tusk™ Ivory and Stag Grips: Magna-Tusk™ Ivory and Stag grips, a product of Arizona Custom Grips, are manufactured out of our high-grade, high density ivory material designed from the beginning as a premium, high-strength grip material. Vastly superior to standard bonded ivory or stag found on most 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 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 compounds to produce outstanding aesthetic properties and mechanical performance. When aged with our natural 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. 082920 About Our Aging Process: We go to great efforts to ensure that our Aged Ivory or Stag not only looks similar to, but in fact looks identical to the real thing. Our Magna-Tusk blanks will produce an aged Ivory grip unlike any other material made today. Our aged grips feature an authentic aged patina, just like the originals, with a process incorporating concentrated U.V. light (the essential aging property in natural sunlight), along with a developer/control agent that is put on the grips to carefully control U.V. absorption, in a sealed, high-oxygen environment to accelerate the natural aging process. Through this aging process, these grips become beautifully mottled, variegated, and weathered just like old, antique Ivory, and incorporate other authentic details found on original old Ivory as seen on many of the revolvers which belonged to gunfighters and lawmen of the Old West. As with real aged Ivory, Magna-Tusk develops a variegated patina due to its authentic grain structure, and natural aging produces an authentic appearance and genuine patina which extends into and below the surface. 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. 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 grips to the range, where our grips are immediately seen and noticed by others. If you are interested in ordering grips for a Brace of pistols, please order both sets together, and we will ensure a better matchup when selecting pairs. 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! 082920 The photo used is a stock photo (a sample pair). Yours will appear similar to these. Customer satisfaction is important to us – we guarantee your complete satisfaction with every purchase!!
