Okay. I want one of my marines to be holding a grenade (using the arm provided on the sprue) as well as holding his Bolter. Problem is, the Bolter hand and the provided grenade hand are both right arms. I can't green stuff due to not having any, and I'm not sure how I can convert it. Can someone give me a little help?

Or should I just have the grenade in one hand and he is holding his Bolter with the "supporting" hand, no finger on his trigger?

Personally I would do it with the Bolter in his left hand just holding the gun (not holding the grip/trigger, but rather the front portion) while throwing a grenade.

This seems more natural to me.

If you really do want him holding the gun in a firing position AND holding a grenade, you could perhaps take one of the grenades that comes on the sprue and glue it into the open hand, cut the top/bottom off of the grenade in the throwing arm and attach the bolter to the hand of the throwing arm (if you use the regular bolter arm it will bump into the open arm).

Actually, that works. I wish I had thought of that. Thanks a lot, man! +1 to you.

Or you could get the left hand that has a chainsword, cut off the part of the sword that is above the thumb/index finger and glue the bolter to that. That way you can have a one-handed bolter while the other hand is lobbing the 'nade.

^ this,

If its the tac-squad box the command sprue should come with a few left handed options (plasma, bolt pistol & chainsword i believe) cut away whatever the hand is holding and place the bolter there instead!
