Reading comprehension fail on my first post.

On some of the BATTLE GRIPS  you REALLY (and be careful) have to torque the bolt to get them to snug up for some reason.

I am pretty sure he is talking about the TangoDown BattleGrip not the Vertical Foregrip.  The Battlegrip goes on really snug.  I sometimes even have to almost pry or wedge them on to get them started.  Then you just have to wiggle them up until they are in place (don't forget the spring).  The bolt that holds it in place is kind of a bear to get good and snug as well.  Once you put one on, it is really quite simple to put others on, but I will agree that the standard A2 is easier to install.  

On a side note...As for the last poster's claim that the TangoDown VFG will not locking up rock solid...my experience is that if your rail is in spec, the TangoDown VFG will be snug and wiggle free, but on inferior rails, they will not.  I have TangoDown VFGs in use on LaRue, Daniel Defense, and Troy rails with zero issues; however, I used one on a Surefire rail with less than stellar results.  The TangoDown BattleGrip and VFG are my go to grips for my ARs.  Even if they were giving away other brands for free, I would still pay to use TangoDown grips.

You can run a tap in the threaded hole and chase more threads. Use washers under the bolt head to take up the gap. Use a shorter mounting bolt or make the bolt shorter by grinding off the tread length..
