1860 Army faux ivory grips

[Magwa45]

Know any good suppliers for Uberti 1860 grips? Not looking to do a lot of refitting to make it work. Thanks!

Have you tried Dixie Gun Works?

The beauty of the colt clones is they have the idea of the grip frame correct in that they all need individual hand fitting to be correct.

Nearly every gun

needs to have the grips hand fit by the way Magwa , on Repros especially . The only one that I have seen that can be mass produced and grips fit is the Rooger OA , but it aint a repro and the CNC machining is state of the art and the frames are nearly identical from one piece to another on the RUGER OA . So its easy to make one size fits all grips for that gun .
Italian guns , NOPE , every one is different , enough to where you have to hand fit them to some extent .

These are nice but a little pricey, the price includes custom fitting to your gun. http://www.truivory.com/

Tombstone or Dixie is your best bet. The one piece grips start out as three pieces. If you have a brass grip frame you can just sand down to the brass then re-polish it. A little more work if blue steel or silver.

I just finished this pair on a baby dragoon last night. I use a diluted tan leather dye to age the ivory. These came from Dixie several years ago. I'm a procrastinator, never rush into anything.

Anything worth doing is worth waiting for
They look great, nice job.

Ruger’s grip frames are investment cast, not CNC machined – and the castings are so precise that the grips fit very well without hand fitting.

The Italians do what Colt and Remington did during the 19th century – individually fit the stocks to the backstrap & trigger guard, and then serial number everything so that they get back together later. If you want a perfect fit, as opposed to a close one, replacement stocks will have to be individually fitted too.

Nice guys in my old home town of Lake Stevens. I have a set for a 1851 I need to finish fitting.
