Installing Marschal Grips on a CZ82

[Hurryin' Hoosier]

This may have been covered elsewhere, although my "search" yielded nothing. It seems that I read somewhere that Marschal grips tend to crack if you overtighten the screws. The poster suggested placing small rubber o-rings between the grip and the frame (as I understood it) at each screw hole. I've also read that CZ-USA has "grip panel inserts" ( http://shop.cz-usa.com/P-0330108001/Grip-Panel-Insert-83.aspx ) intended for this purposes. Any guidance from anyone?

would be interested in seeing where you found anything about cracking in their grips?

As I mentioned in the CZ forum have had at least 10 sets of their grips without incident (including on an 83) and never used rubber o-rings.

Off topic, but the grip panel inserts are also recommended when purchasing CZ walnut or oak finished replacement grips for the CZ 83 however in my experience with fitting them on two CZ 83’s they were not necessary.
