DavidQ 170 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I have a weird issue that maybe someone has corrected. I recently bought an M92PV serbian 7.62x39 AK pistol and wanted to change the grip. I purchased 2 grips: the Molot grip from MD Arms, and a traditional romanian ak grip. I tried installing the Molot grip but it seemed that the angle was wrong and it sit past the back of the receiver about 1/2". The traditional grip did the same thing except it didn't sit past the receiver. The Yugo grip that came with it fits 100% perfect. Has anyone encountered this issue? Am I stuck with the yugo grip?

Spacehog 2,218 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 No, but you are going to have to dremel out the portion of the grip where it fits over the grip nut. I had the same problem with mine with the Hogue AK grip. Just determine where it is contacting the grip and begin removing a little material. Keep test fitting and remove a little more until it seats correctly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jojo200517 68 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 You will have to mod the other grips to fit. The Yugo uses a different style grip nut that is riveted into the bottom of the receiver. As far as the Molot hanging off the rear, the Molot grip is pretty fat so maybe someone else can chime in as to modding it to fit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidQ 170 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 What mods can be done to the grip? I know that it is riveted, but I would think the angle would be the same. Maybe not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sport Rescue 245 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 i went with the wood Hungarian grips from AK Builder. No modifying needed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 If you look at the the top of the grip where it slides over the grip nut and the screw passes through to attach it to the receiver, you will notice that there is a precut angle. That angle is not matching up with the angle on the Yugo grip nut. In other words the grip is contacting a portion of the grip nut before it can slide all of the way forward. You will have to remove some of this material on the grip before it will slide all the way forward and seat properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Well I stand corrected. I just took the grip off of my M92 to take a picture of the removed material and realized I was thinking of my Saigas with the CSS billet trigger guards. The Hogue overmolded grip will fit the PAP M92 without any modification. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidQ 170 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 So what you are saying is I must drill out hole to the correct angle to match the angle of the grip nut? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JESS1344 508 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 AZ-DAVE, YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO GRIND THAT ROUND HOLE IN THE GRIP INTO AN OVAL, MOVING IT FORWARD, IN THE DIRECTION OF THE TRIGGER; APPX. 1/4" OR SO. DO NOT WIDEN IT. I USE A LONG CYLINDRICAL GRINDING STONE IN THE DREMEL, THAT LOOKS TO BE ABOUT .17CAL IN DIAMETER. GRIND A LITTLE BIT, PLACE THE GRIP BACK ON THE RECEIVER AND SEE HOW MUCH MORE YOU NEED TO GO. SIGHTING OVER THE REAR EDGE OF THE HOLE IN THE HOGUE GRIP, WHEN YOU GET STRAIGHT LINE-OF-SIGHT UP THE HOLE IN THE GRIP NUT, STOP. DO THIS GRINDING DOWN INSIDE A TRASH CAN, OR OUTSIDE WITH THE WIND TO YOUR BACK; THE PLASTIC DUST YOU'LL PRODUCE IS EXTREMELY FINE AND LIGHT, AND BECOMES AIRBORNE, GETTING INTO EVERYTING IN SIGHT, INCLUDING UP YOUR NOSE AND INTO YOUR LUNGS. USE A DUST MASK IF YOU HAVE ONE. I ALSO GRIND THE FINGER GROOVES DOWN TO JUST MILD BUMPS, WITH A LITTLE THINNING ON THE SIDES, USING A SMALL SANDING DRUM. IF YOU WANT TO TRY THAT, AS ALWAYS WITH THE DREMEL, TAKE IT SLOW AND EASY OR YOU'LL BE DOWN TO THE PLASTIC LINER. THE UP SIDE, IF YOU DO THAT, AS LONG AS IT'S NOT A GAPING HOLE, THE RUBBER IS STUCK TO THE PLASTIC LINER SO WELL, THAT I'VE NEVER SEEN IT PEEL UP FROM ANY SMALL "OOOPS".

DavidQ 170 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks Jess. That's kinda how I was thinking it should be done. I will try that and see what happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidQ 170 Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 What I did was shave down the top of the grip (the part that contacts the receiver) at an angle that better matches the Yugo grip. It fits great now and has a very slight gap towards the front of the grip. It's only an 1/8 of an inch so its no big deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Glad it worked out for you. What you did was exactly, albeit not so clearly, what I was trying to describe to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidQ 170 Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Well I didn't ream out the hole where the screw goes through. I simply hanged the mounting angle of the top of the grip. I'm happy with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
