See below for details.~~~~~two-PIECE (with SCREWHOLE) STYLETHIS AUCTION IS FOR OUR TWO-PIECE (SCREWHOLE) STYLE GRIPS. SEE BELOW.********ONE-PIECE VS. TWO-PIECE STYLE GRIPS:A Choice for Every User! Two-Piece style grips incorporate a visible screw and screwhole, allowing easy and quick removal for cleaning or maintenance of your revolver. One-piece style grips do not use a screw but instead use an internal spacer. Both styles are traditional and historical designs and both were originally used on early Colts, so it is a matter of personal preference. Both styles of our grips will interchange and work on either style of grip frame. See below.One-Piece style grips (i.e., grips which do not have a visible screwhole in the grips) incorporate a user installed spacer (included with the grips) between the grip panels, as seen on many of the early Colts. The spacer is sent unmounted to ensure optimum fit with your revolver, with simple, quick installation which takes about one minute or so per grip. Fully illustrated instructions are included. This results in a rock-tight fit, without the need of a screw. Preferred by many collectors for their clean lines and traditional look. One-Piece style grips are removed by removing the three backstrap screws, and pulling the grip and backstrap backwards. Reinstallation is in reverse order. Alternatively, our Two-Piece style grips (i.e., grips with a visible screw and screwhole) offer the superior convenience of quick grip removal. They include a free Conversion kit, allowing their use on revolvers that are currently using one-piece style grips that do not have a grip pin. 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 and gives you the advantage of the ease of maintenance of Two-Piece grips, 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 collectors.Fully illustrated, detailed instructions are included with each set of grips. 01042300~~~~~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by Sam Colt, was manufactured in Hartford, CT starting in the 1850’s and continued on into the 1870’s. In 1873, it was superceded by the Colt 1873 Single Action Army, which fired metallic cartridges and became a legend in its own right.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).

Standard Bonded Ivory is brittle, and tends to weaken and develop stress fractures over time with repeated use, firing, and handling. Magna-Tusk™ is capable of withstanding the heaviest recoil and impact, and is the toughest alternative Ivory grip material available today, while still retaining the pristine look of real ivory. These grips are not cast or made out of an inferior, lightweight material, but are heavy and dense, carefully milled out of a solid block, one at a time. Magna-Tusk is completely rock-solid, stable, and water, chemical, and oil resistant. It is flame and heat resistant, will not melt like Urethane or plastic, 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 produced with 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 most 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.
