SirROFL 13 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I finally got my pistol-grip nut, which I'm using to attach a CAA SAW grip (the one with grip inserts), but the bolt that came with the nut is too long (it's obviously for standard AK furniture). So, of course, I head for the hardware store to find something that'll do the job. But not a single bolt size would fit the PG nut...am I just looking in the wrong place?

I'd suggest trying another hardware store or see if there is a speacialty bolt/fastener store in your area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 It's metric. You need a metric bolt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've had bolts too long and it always works as long as you make sure you don't strip the nut. If it doesn't start right you can angle the thread a bit with a small file.

quinci956 1 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 If you are going to cut it, screw the nut down past the place where you will cut it. After you cut it to the desired length, check the threads and clean them up wit a file if needed. Then unscrew the nut back off of the grip screw and you should not have any trouble getting it back together when assembleing it back on the gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
talkcombloc 0 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 It's metric. You need a metric bolt. How could you overlook that! True AK enthusiasts live in a metric world. Sheesh! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
