nalioth 405 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 No mods needed. Just tighten the PG bolt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TedG954 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 After firing my new conversion (200 rds) I noticed that the PG bolt was just a little bit loose. I tightened it again. If it loosens again, I will use some LocTite on it. Knowing that, I would have applied the LT during the initial assembly. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I GOT THE PG NUT AND BOLT FROM DINZAG DONT KNOW WHAT IM DOING WRONG? Thats a problem that a lot of folks have had. And the problem is solved with ETAC's new part (Triger Guard with Grip nut machined in). Check out their vendor section on forum or go to their web site. Its worth the money to avoid the hastle.

No, it's not solved at all. A pistol grip hole will still need to be in place on the receiver, otherwise the pistol grip bolt will bottom out against the receiver and one of two things will occur: a) bend/break the end of the trigger guard off or damage receiver / screws user stops before (a) and has a loose pistol grip. edited to turn off the stupid emoticons Edited July 13, 2009 by nalioth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fxhart 14 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I thought those trigger guards were for the S-12's? Anyway, I use a split lock washer to help keep my pistil grip anchored. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Because I just used the grip off the T6 it has two holes to attach to the receiver. I used both and LT, it is so solid. Sometimes things just work out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A pistol grip hole will still need to be in place on the receiver, otherwise the pistol grip bolt will bottom out against the receiver and one of two things will occur: Eh? If you've got a TG with PG nut machined into/onto it, why would you need a PG hole in the receiver itself? That's the whole point of the S12 DIY TG's, so you don't have to cut the PG hole.

As has been mentioned, bolts vary in length. The Tromix all-in-one ships with a short bolt that is designed to work with the Tapco saw grip and they don't guarantee their trigger guard will work with other pistol grips. The new ETAC part has the threaded hole completely open, and an overlength bolt will protrude from the back side, leading to either of the 2 possiblities I outlined above.

I didn't know the E-Tac guard was open on the top end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
