I'm thinkin' about asking for DYE sticky grips for my birthday...I have a Custom 98 with a Tippy Double Trigger. Are these going to fit on my marker with the double trigger? I thought I read somewhere you have to stretch them somehow...

What's the story? Thanks for the help...

Nope you should have no problem at all. i also have a double trigger and they went on very easily. all you have to do is put the bottom 2 screws in first, then push the top into place. no hot water, heating them up or anything of that sort is needed.

A couple things you should know. Of course the stickies aren't split grips, so you have to take them half off to get at the internals. In addition, you can't get at the reciever screw in the handle unless you unscrew the stickies there (you'd have to anyways). Finallly, right where the grips would touch the joint between your thumb and index finger there are little flaps of rubber that do not lie flush with the marker.

I'm going to try cutting the little protruding rubber flaps off with a sharp knife, and drilling a hole through to the receiver screw on the left side of the stickies. I may also try cutting them into split grips, but I think they'd gap open at the front if I did.

PS: The 32 degrees sticky style grips may work better than Dye, I don't know.

Ahhhhh, I didn't realize some of that. Thanks Avery...
