Kriegerwithin 0 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 My pistol grip won't secure to my gun! The screw that it came with won't go into the bushing all the way and the screw that came with the bushing doesn't even hold it. Someone please for God's sake, help me before I have a mental breakdown! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I'm not sure what the problem could be. My 2 have installed with no problems. Are the threads on your pistol grip nut clean? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reverendfranz 160 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Does sound strange to me, though i have replaced a few PG screws with bolts from the hardware store, just figure out about how long you need one, and take the PG nut to the local True Value or the like, and find one that fits.

Well then I guess my advice is to make damn sure the threads on both the screw and nut are clean, then squirt a little CLP or gun oil onto both parts and see if you have any luck. If that doesn't work, perhaps there's something wrong with the screw. You should be able to take the parts down to your local hardware store, (as Rev suggested), and find a replacement that works with the pg nut and is the proper length.

Kriegerwithin 0 Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 No the screw fits perfectly when it's outside of the PG, just as soon as you put it in the PG and try to screw it into the bushing, it doesn't go in all the way. I can't figure it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't figure it out. I tend to suspect you don't have everything lined up correctly when you're trying to actually attach the grip to the receiver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Elkhound 91 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Let us know how this turns out. I like the look and feel of the CAA grip. I have thought about trying one of their stocks on an 870, but I just have not gotten around to it. But, if they have fitting issues, I don't need that type of frustration - I've got teenagers, that is enough stress and frustration. WJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

XxGrave 0 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Mine bolted on fine on my x39 and S12 You do need to get a longer screw to have it seat into the pg nut on the x39's, and even more so if ya have the ace adapter block installed. I used the Tromix DIY trigger guard for the S12 and the screw worked fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kymasabe 1 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 What pistol grip nut are you using? I used the Tapco nut and found that the nut was too long, had to cut aprox 1/4" off the bottom of the nut, then my CAA PG fit perfectly, and I used the screw it came with, fir the Tapco PG nut without any problems.

This shows (if you can see it) how the trigger pin sticks out compared to the pin holding the hammer. This one shows the trigger pin stayin inside the receiver compared to the hammer pin.

It was a TAPCO bushing but when I looked at it closely, there was a thread that was slightly out of shape. Not very much but enough to prevent it from going in all the way. I ordered a new bushing so I'll see if this one works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kope007 14 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Are you using the retaining plate or shepards crook? There is a little notch on each pin on the left side that the retaining device needs to be seated in to prevent pins from moving. It really can't be on right otherwise your pin could not stick out that far. Also make sure you hit the bottom of the reciever with some paint, if its worth doin its worth doin right.
