Identification
of grip types.
 
There were three
styles of grips.
The safety determines the type.
Note the cut outs on their tops.
The top left image is the original First Model.
The middle image is the Old Model.
The New Model is shown far right.
The New Model is illustrated in the
above parts diagram. Grips are sold in pairs unless otherwise noted.
Variations
in factory grip styles.

The Walnut Grip at the top left is usually found for
the Old Model Safety.
The center photo is the very controversial and rather rare Pink Grip.
The Black Plastic Grip to the far right was used on late model Raven
Arms
pistols and also on some Phoenix Arms Raven pistols. The
Phoenix Arms
Raven is identical to the Raven Arms and the parts are
interchangeable.
The one unique feature of the Phoenix Arms Raven pistols is the magazine disconnect incorporated into the last ones they produced. The right grip of these pistols has a cutout for the disconnect spring (Part 129) which is necesary if your going to keep the spring in place. These grips can be used on any Raven even if it never had this spring. The picture below shows the grip on the left with the cutout and a standard grip on the right.

doing this, send me your Frame only and I'll fit them for you

Differences in
Safeties.
 |
|
At the top is the Raven First
Model Sliding Safety.
In the middle we have what is commonly referred
to as the Old Model Safety
and at the bottom is the
New Model Safety.
The safety is the most
distinguishing identification of the Raven pistols. |

Magazines
available for the
P25/MP25.

|

Pictured above left is a nickel plated Raven Arms magazine. Next
is an original
Raven Arms marked magazine in blue steel. These were also made
in stainless
steel as seen below. Most Raven magazines had no markings on them at
all. The third picture is an original Phoenix Arms
Raven
magazine. These magazines were available in stainless steel as well.
The Phoenix Arms Raven is identical to the standard New Model Raven pistols and all parts will interchange. Below, on the far right, is the "Safety Notice" found on some newer magazines. You can right click on the picture and select "View Image" to see a larger version.

NOTE:
Raven pistol's were
manufactured in three locations over a period of
20
years by two different manufactures. Due to
differences in manufacturing
tolerances you may have to modify your magazine or pistol for a proper
fit. If the magazine won't go in or is tight try these solutions first: * The right side of the magazine (where the long opening is) may be swollen
near the top and along the opening. With the magazine assembled take a hammer and lightly tap the magazine body on the side from the top down along the opening. Don't go crazy or you'll jam the magazine follower. Test it in the pistol then make sure the bullets will load and feed properly.
* Check that the Grip Screws are not protruding
into the magazine well and
dragging on the side of your new
magazine. You will see a long srcatch up the side of the magazine body if it is. This is more common with the walnut
grips, as the wood can compress
if the screws are over tightened.
* On the front of the Magazine there is a weld line. Sometimes the weld is heavier than normal. File this down keeping the rounded shape the full length of the weld until it fits into the grip with little or no resistance.
I personally check every magazine I sell prior to shipping. Each magazine is disassembled, cleaned and tested for feed reliability and proper fit in at least 3 different Raven pistols. If you still have problems and none of the above tips help you, ship the pistol to me with the magazine(s) I sold you and I'll fit them for you at no charge except for the $8.50 return shipping fee.

Ordering
& Repair Information
- Open 8:00AM - 8:00PM EST -
Parts Ordering Information: It's
best to call and use a charge card as inventories
change daily. While I do accept checks and money orders, the
item could be sold out by
the time your payment arrives and may result in delays or a return of
your payment.
However, if you feel more comfortable sending a check that's fine.
Checks and money
orders should be made out to "John Torelli." If sending an
order by mail there is a
form at this link for
Mail-In
Orders Only that
you may find useful. If using
PayPal send
payment in care of
JTorelli3@comcast.net and email me your order. Be sure to include a
valid shipping address and phone number. As soon as your payment posts your order will
be shipped and you will receive an email confirmation.
All orders have a $6.00
shipping
charge regardless of the size or part price. Shipping charges for International orders will
be charged accordingly.
Due to the large volume of automated political telemarketing calls that are not blocked by
the "Do Not Call List" I do not answer calls that have the callers ID hidden. Those calls
will get the answering service. Should you be a legitimate caller leave a message and I'll
call you back.
Important Notice:
* Unless otherwise noted, all
the parts listed are
original Raven
parts in the
best
condition I can find. Please remember that the Ravens
have been out
of
production for almost 20 years and some parts may not look like new.
Also I can not vouch for the integrity of any individual part as I have no idea
how it was used, stored, cared for or handled before I found it. Some parts
may be almost 40 years old and there is no way to tell by looking at them.
If original parts are unavailable a fully functioning substitute may be sent.
My goal is to keep your Raven working one way or the other.

Repair
Information: It is perfectly legal
for you to ship a handgun to a licensed repair
center and have it returned directly to you once repairs are completed.
This shop has been
fully licensed for 28 years and can accept your work. There
is a $20.00 repair charge on the
Ravens plus an $8.50 return shipping charge. This
does not include the cost of any parts that
may be needed. Repairs will include cleaning, test firing 6 rounds and
a copy of the original
manual. If more than 6 rounds are needed to complete testing there may be an additional
charge. The test target will be sent with your pistol.
Shipping Notes:
01) It's illegal to use the US Postal Service to ship a handgun to me
unless you are a licensed dealer.
02) FedEx, UPS or any other common carrier is fine.
03) Do not mark on the package that it is a firearm.
04) If necessary, tell the carrier that the package contains a disassembled and broken pistol for repair.
05) Be sure to get a tracking number to keep the shipment from
getting lost or stolen.
06) Address your package to:
John
Torelli 501
Ireland Ave. Millville NJ 08332IMPORTANT:Be sure to provide me with your
Name, Address & Phone Number and include a note as to
what you want done. I routinely get packages containing broken guns with no return address
or identifying information. Please understand that I get dozens of calls and emails every day
inquiring about parts and repairs, so do not assume that just because we discussed your gun a
week or two ago that I know that this particular gun is yours. I need a
Name, Address andPhone Number or it will substantially delay repair and return of your firearm.
