DrThunder88 912 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 And I have to say the screw that comes with it is pretty lame. I got a new socket head screw from the local hardware store. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got a new socket head screw from the local hardware store. I didnt have any problems with my screw, worked fine. I did have to take a little off the PG nut though. Everyone has worked fine since.

lbsrdi 1,078 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 And I have to say the screw that comes with it is pretty lame. I got a new socket head screw from the local hardware store. I'm having a problem with the screw. I tighten it down and and it is still loose. I had a Hogue grip on this gun last year, and it was fine, but took it off to use on another gun. So I buy a new one and it does not want to go on. No matter how hard I tightened it it still wiggled, then it broke! Any suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yoshi 87 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 The screw broke, did you get it out of the nut? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 The screw broke, did you get it out of the nut? Yeah the screw broke in two. It came out of the nut easily tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 The screw broke, did you get it out of the nut? Yeah the screw broke in two. It came out of the nut easily tho. I fixed it! after a lot of frustration and a trip to Lowes I figured out the problem. The nut was bottoming out (making contact) on the top part of the inside of the grip, the area that sits against the reciever. Because of this no matter how much I tightened it it would not tighten anymore. The fix was to remove material where the nut was making contact with the PG. I am kinda concerned at how easily the Hogue screw broke, so I picked up several replacement bolts. I think it is a good idea to have spare parts, even something as small as a PG screw/bolt. Hopefully my experience with this will help someone else dealing with this problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chevyman097 2,579 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Wish i had of seen you guys post a few days ago, I could have saved you all some trouble. That has been a known problem with the tapco PG nut around here. As you found out, the easy fix is to take a bit off the nut to make it fit better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigtwin 219 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I love my hogue grip. The reason it comes with a screw is that it is much shorter than a typical AK grip. I am sure you all know that by now. I purchased an Ak nut from a local store that had them(they don't care for the Tapco nut), no problems were had for my conversion.

lbsrdi 1,078 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 That screw broke pretty easily, maybe it was just a bad one. The other Hogue grips I have installed have held up well so far, including on my S12 and Mossburg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
