In case anyone is wondering, YES a Coyle grip set WILL fit an OffWorld.

(you WILL need to do some adjusting)

All the screw holes to tighten the outer grip to the inner grip match up.

The OffWorld inner grip is shorter, so you will have a gap at the bottom of the grip. (this is a good place to add lead weights)

YOU will need to supply the hex head screws (3mm hex heads can be procured at your local hard ware store) OR use the ones you have off your OffWorld.
The bottom screw will be short and needs replacing with a longer one. You might not need to use the OffWorld hex nuts to tighten them. Altho it wont hurt to use them anyway.

If you use a plastic OffWorld trigger guard, you can cut off the part that turns down and super glue it for stability.
OR you can buy one of Riches trigger guards as they ALSO fit. Again you will need to use Super glue for stability.
Option three is use a metal OffWorld, and modify the Coyel outer grip by cutting in the notch to match the Offworld trigger guard. Use some Super glue for stability. (this is the option I used)

You will need to finish / drill / sand / paint the Coyel outer grip, butt plate and amber grips (polish with Novus fine scratch remover, this just shines up the grips).

Remember, These are pewter parts and strip easily plus dent.

They will tighten up, but you MIGHT want to use some Super glue for stability in the screw holes.

We know the OffWorld grip is NOT at the correct angle to begin with.

The replacement Coyle Grip frame corrects this SLIGHTLY. Maybe a 2 to 5% improvement closer to the correct angle.

You will need to disassemble the OffWorld grip AND trigger guard / ammo housing to replace it with the Coyel grip.

When you are drilling the Coyel outer grip holes for the amber grips, use a smaller diameter drill bit(?) than your screws as the screw will thread themselves when you screw them in.

It took me about 45 min. to complete this conversion once the Coyel replacement set was prepped and painted.

Have fun and god luck!'Very Happy'
