Skiluvr03 24 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hello, I got the Galil Furniture for my Saiga last year that has the Folding Stock and Galil ForeGrip and when I installed it, I thought the Clamp Bolt that holds the ForeGrip on was kind of Cheapy, but I put it on anyways. It all looked good and I tighted it as tight as I could without Stripping-out the Hex Nut that come on it. Anyways, when I took it too the Range, the damn thing slid off of the grip and rendered it useless. I didn't want to put it back on because I don't trust it anymore and can't take chances if my Life is on the line with it, so I put the Original back on. Now, I want the Galil back on because it doesn't look as Cool as I want it too. Anyone have any ideas on a better way to Clamp the end of the Galil Foregrip on the the Barrel? Do I need to post Pics of the Parts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imarangemaster 315 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Research the thread I posted here on the 223 forum about 6 years ago about Tapco Galil handguards. You can drill and tap, insert a set screw, in the retainer in such a way that the set screw will engage a divot you drill in the barrel. It will hold... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skiluvr03 24 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks, I will consider that. I'm not sure I feel comfortable drilling into my barrel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imarangemaster 315 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 A standard AK has a deep notch milled into the top of the barrel for the standard retainer lock. The divot is not as deep as that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShadowFire 220 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yup, the barrel is slightly over engineered, a divot will not effect safety or performance. You only want it a few .001 of 1" deep, like a deeper surface scratch, nothing major. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skiluvr03 24 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Sorry, I was AWOL for a few days; had a huge warm front, so been on the Range and riding the Motorcycle. I hear what you all are saying and I will do that in the next few days. I'm sure I'm going to need a good, new, bit, so will have to run out and get that first. Or, I may try the one I put the bullet guide in with; it is all I have used that bit for; will have to compare sizes. I had another idea too, before you all talked me into putting the dimple in. I was going to put a back-up C-Clamp behind the other one, but, that would look a little silly to those that's knows what it's supposed to look like Quote Link to post Share on other sites
