See below for details.~~~~~oNE-PIECE (nO SCREWHOLE) STYLE gripsTHIS LISTING IS FOR OUR ONE-PIECE (NO SCREWHOLE) STYLE GRIPS********ONE-PIECE VS. 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 23122871~~~~~The legendary Colt 1851 Navy, a 36 Caliber Cap & Ball revolver designed by Samuel Colt, was manufactured in Hartford, CT starting in the 1850s and continuing on up into the 1870s. After a long production run of over 250,000 units, it was superseded by the metallic cartridge firing Colt 1873 Single Action Army, which like the ’51 Navy gained a legendary status of its own. To many, the outstanding handling qualities and the size and shape of the Navy grip frame (and the later 1873 Army which was a close copy of the Navy) was and is unsurpassed, even by today’s standards. These “plowhandle” gripframes are deemed by many to result in 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, most notably Wild Bill Hickock who was known to always carry a brace of Navys in his belt. Bringing the Navy revolver into quick action by experienced gunmen was more of an exercise in instinctual tactile feel, rather than the slower deliberation and careful aiming necessary with some lesser designs. WHAT THESE WILL FIT(Please read the following section in its entirety!) These grips WILL FIT the following Uberti Cap & Ball revolvers and their derivatives (such as the “Open Tops” and “Conversions”), which have the standard 3-1/8” tall gripframe:- 1851 Navy Percussion (Cap & Ball)-- 1851 Navy Conversion-- 1851 Navy Open Top -- Richards-Mason 1851 Navy Conversions –- C. Mason 1851 Navy Conversions –- Man With No Name 1851 Navy Conversions -- 1861 Navy Percussion (Cap & Ball) -- 1871 Navy Open Tops-- 1872 Navy Open Tops –- Leech & Ridgon (CSA 1851 Navy) –- and other similar Uberti designs using the 3-1/8” tall gripframe – PLEASE NOTE: Uberti makes an 1860 Army sized revolver which has a similar appearance to the ’51 Navy. However, the 1860 Army gripframe is around 3-3/8” tall, so 1860 Army grips are not interchangeable with the ’51 Navy. Please check your grip frame measurement prior to ordering. These grips will ONLY fit the Navy sized gripframes (which are around 3-1/16” to 3-1/8” tall, depending on how you hold your ruler or caliper). If you have the taller (3-3/8”) 1860 Army sized grip frame, please check our store for Uberti 1860 Army grips, or send us an email if you cannot find what you need and we will be happy to help. UBERTI FRAME VARIATIONS -- IMPORTANT!*PLEASE NOTE: Over the years Uberti has used multiple variations of gripframes on their revolvers, with several profile differences and different fitting requirements, and they are NOT interchangeable although they LOOK similar. To ensure that we get you the correct grips, we need to determine the date of manufacture of your revolver. When ordering, please check your revolver for a two-digit date code inside a small rectangular box (as shown in the second picture in this listing), or on older revolvers made prior to 1975 a set of Roman numerals (e.g., “XXX”, “XXIV”, etc.). On some of the more current revolvers, there is a two-digit number (e.g., “21”) inside a circle, or sometimes you will find an actual date stamp (e.g., “2022”). If found, when ordering the grips please attach a message to your order and send us the date code. If after a careful inspection you find that your revolver does not have the code (which a few of the newer revolvers do not), please let us know that you have a recent model and send the first three digits of your serial number. If we do not hear from you we will send the most common current version in order to get the order out within the required time parameters.Rev. 23122831 What these will NOT fit:Please note that these will NOT fit revolvers made by Colt, Pietta, Army San Marco, or any other manufacturer. Please check and make sure your revolver was made by Uberti prior to ordering. Cimarron, Taylors & Co., or EMF, etc., are importers and buy from various manufacturers, including Uberti. But Uberti’s name should be found somewhere on the revolver.Rev. 07282300 A note on the Italian-produced Revolvers: The Italian firms, located in Northern Italy, have been making SAA style revolvers now for well over a half century, and have made numerous makes and models and grip frame profiles with varying configurations over the years. We have an in-depth knowledge of the differing grip configurations, have a large library of gripframe variations from the various makers both old and new, and have vast experience making grips for Uberti, Pietta, as well as the other Italian gunmaking firms. Our experienced makers go to great lengths to ensure an exacting fit, including utilizing modern precision CNC production techniques, as well as incorporating old-time hand tuning and hand checking the fit of every grip on our reference frames prior to leaving our factory. We have a long list of many satisfied customers in the shooting industry who have purchased grips to use in a wide variety of applications, and we can safely and confidently guarantee proper fit and finish to your complete satisfaction. Rev. 11202000 Arizona 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 exclusively 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. 08292000 The photo used is a stock photo (a sample pair).
