ChiefG Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) Any tricks how to install these? Grip holes doesn't align with the frame hole. I'm having difficulty installing the grip screws. I don't want to strip the thread on the frame so I decided to stop and ask here first. I followed Instructions on LRA site but still couldn't do it. Any inputs will be greatly appreciated! ETA: Important note for installation: The Xtreme grips have been produced to tight tolerances to ensure the fit to the frame is tight with no movement. When installing the grip screw follow these instructions. Insert the grip and apply pressure on the grip on and upward 45 degree angle to pressure the grip into the frame. Insert the screw into the grip and line it up with the frame at a 90 degree angle before attempting to screw it in. The fit will be very snug against the grips to minimize movement. Only when the screw is going straight in and NOT on an angle slowly install the screw until it is flush with the grips. Do not attempt to install the screw if it is not at the correct 90 degree angle otherwise cross threading may occur.

TennJeep1618 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I had to slightly open up the screw holes on the EG Extreme grips for my Limited. Nothing a few swipes with a round file couldn't fix.

nhjeffs Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 One of the EG grips that I put on my Stock 3 needed the hole opened up also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinp Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Put the same grips on both of my stock 3's didn't need any mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 You sure they are the correct model? They make large frame and small frame grips. They main difference is screw hole placement. I put eg grips on my stock 2. Went straight on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAYZER Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Put Extremes on my Limited Custom (Elite) had to open up the hole 0.5 MM to make sure the screw went straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCPistolero Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Put them on my Stock II and yes I did have to open up the holes just a little. The round file idea is a pretty good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougump Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I never had to open the holes and I've put quite a few pairs on and off. Just is finicky sometimes but I found the EG torx screws were always the easiest but also easy to strip. The factory screws that come with wood grips were always a bigger pain.
