GP 100 GRIPS

[RUFUS]

I am having trouble removing the original rubber molded grips and would
appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance

After you remove the wooden inserts, you should see an aluminum "stud" (earlier ones were a type of white plastic) near the bottom of the grip. Sometimes you're able to just push it out, sometimes it takes a little "oomph". After that, the grip should just slide off.

Thank you but I don't see any wooden inserts that you refer to.

I only see a screw on the butt which I have removed and I am trying to slide the grip off but it wont budge.

You must have the new Hogues. Rock the grip botom from fornt to back while pulling off. They do come off, believe it or not.

 

[RUFUS]

Yup! That did it. Thanks for the prompt replies.

Oops, when you said original, I thought you meant original.

Actually, getting them off is the easy part, getting them back on can be a real PITA. i much prefer the original originals.

Ya gotta spread em wide enuff to get em off the locator dowel that`s affixed into the stud!

Then reverse for installation.
