    The swap is easy, 4 bolts. The hard part is locating a good Grabber Hood.

    All year maverick hoods are interchangable. there are fiderglass repos that can be had for about the same price as a good original grabber hood, but yes it an easy swap, me and my girlfriend had a new hood on in about 10 min but I spent another hour adjusting the bolts so that thing was on perfectly straight lol
