Correct me if Im wrong but isn't the grip screw hole supposed to be threaded the entire way through? I don't have the tools necessary for a tap and thread so would I be justified to send this back? I can't even get a standard grip in there. Plus the mag well is super tight and doesnt allow PMags to drop freely. Its too bad cause it was on sale and looked like a winner.

Some manufacturers thread them through, some don't. I disremember what my last ones from Spike's were, but I'm going to find out what this one is in 2 days. I recall that I had to add a washer to one grip to tighten it up, before I ground the end off the end of the bolt. It may have been a Spike's. I just adapted, but you're right. You shouldn't need to. Regarding the Magpul: What's the date stamp on your PMags? |

Quoted: Call Spikes's, see if they'll send you a shorter bolt if you can't tap it through.I LOVE your sig Yeah, youre right, they are the early revision mags. The new ones work. I thought the only thing they changed was the cover clip. Magpul:––-> It's easy to fix 'em with a flat mill file. Front and rear, smooth the 'seam' out. Probably 6-8 strokes each. I had a thread about it with a pic or two, other people have, too. Separate mod:––-> Look in the rear detent hole to see if it's threaded for a small set screw to trap the detent and spring. There's a sticky about doing it if it's not threaded, but check. And post pix when you're done with the build. |
