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 Grips: Magna-Tusk™ Ivory grips, an exclusive of Arizona Custom Grips, are manufactured out of our super high-grade, ultra-high density Ivory material developed exclusively for our premium grip production. Vastly superior to standard bonded ivory found on factory and other aftermarket Ivory grips, Magna-Tusk™ is capable of withstanding the heaviest recoil and impact, and is the toughest alternative ivory material available today, while still retaining the pristine look of real ivory. 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, 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, imitation stag, etc., found on many historic grips. About Our Aging Process: The best Aged Ivory grips start with the best materials. Unlike the commonly available “solid yellow” plastic grips which detract from the appearance and handling of a revolver or firearm, our Aged Ivory grips are made out of the best components available, incorporate natural materials, and feature a genuine, authentic patina. Their authenticity is so convincing that many experts cannot tell it apart from real Ivory. The difference is noticeable even in the photos, but is even more apparent in person. These grips feature authentic color mottling, variegation, and subtle wear marks as seen on many of the revolvers which belonged to gunfighters and lawmen of the Old West. We offer the highest quality, most authentic imitation Aged Ivory grips available anywhere on the market. Our process utilizes concentrated UV light (the essential aging property in natural sunlight), and in addition employing heat and pressure in a special controlled high oxygen-rich environment which accelerates the aging process. Unlike a painted surface, our patina actually extends below the surface, into the grip material itself. Not only does it look better to begin with, but will not chip, crack, or peel, like superficially applied surfaces. 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, just like any genuine patina, the better they look! Please note: We make every effort to ensure the best fit possible. Besides using exacting standards and state-of-the art-equipment in our manufacturing operations, every set of grips is hand checked on our test frame for proper fit prior to leaving our factory. This ensures the best fit in the industry. Occasionally, however, your grip pin may have been installed slightly out of alignment or position, and you may find it necessary to slightly open up the grip pin holes on the back of the grips to get the grips to seat fully. Full, easy to follow instructions are provided with every set of grips. Grip screw included with all grips. The photo used is a stock photo (a sample pair). Yours will appear similar to these.
