Dyn 4 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I'm looking at this pistol grip but it says the screw will have to be cut down a few threads. What would be the best way measuring and cutting the screw? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's what I was told to do, too. Such an easy, common sense idea.......yet I would have never thought of it on my own, because I'm 3/4 retarded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DOMIDARKO 5 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I used some washers to fill up the space and get a tight fit on mine without changing anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
