I didnt cut off the back cause i only have very very basic tools and the closest thing i ahve to cutting the back piece off is a dremel and that will definitely melt the plastic. The grip is very solid...the holes arent lined up perfectly either. its so tight i ahve to force and wiggle the egrip back into place. The x7 egrip is a bit bigger than the a5 egrip so its not so comfortable for me though. otherwise i like the feel of it. It feels like it is part of the gun.

It took me no longer than 7 hours total. Most of the work came from making the brackets by hand using a dremel and hand files from a piece of angled 1/16th aluminum...(the same piece of aluminum i used for my ego frame project) The hole drilling was easy, except where i messed up and had to fill in the holes and had to redrill. Most of the time came fromt he JB weld drying otherwise I would ahve been done 2 days ago. The right side of the frame has a HUGE gap that I ahd to fill in with jb weld. Other than that it was very straight forward. The backet is primarily there to fill in the sides of the grip to make a tight fit and as a reenforcement because the plastic becomes weakened when you drill so close to the edge.
