dmoss8928 1 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Alright I got the scorpion grip for my converted S12.... You figure the install would be very simple but of course i run into problems. When I tighten the screw that came with the grip onto and grip nut it will not make the grip tight. You can move the grip around while it's mounted on the gun. I don't want to sound stupid but I'm lost. I got so mad at it last night I put it up and said I'll make a new forum tomorrow haha... Any info will help thanks guys!! Edited April 7, 2016 by dmoss8928 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heartbreaker 1,085 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 The notch for the trigger guard/grip nut is slightly narrow. You either have to kind of wiggle it on or file the notch a bit. It was like that for mine but worked fine in the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Heartbreaker 1,085 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Are you using a joined grip nut/trigger guard like the CSS or Tromix or are they separate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spacehog 2,218 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 If you are using the billet trigger guard from CSS on your conversion, it is not tapped all the way through and your pistol grip screw is bottoming out. Get a shorter screw or change out the trigger guard and use a separate PG nut and screw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmoss8928 1 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 It is a after market trigger guard I bought the gun used so I'm not sure which guard is on there but I can get a picture later... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dmoss8928 1 Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Here are some pics of the trigger guard... Do yall think I just need a long screw? I wonder if the size of the screw is on ATI web site somewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 You have the Tromix trigger guard with integrated grip nut. Take off the pistol grip and look at the trigger guard where the grip nut screw screws in. You will find that the integrated nut has a bottom. In other words you can only screw the grip screw in so far before it bottoms out. You will need a shorter grip screw to keep it from bottoming out before tightening down the PG against the receiver.

Heartbreaker 1,085 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 You see the raised area around the nut? The scorpion grip has a notch that fits around it, but it's a tight fit. Either start the screw then wiggle and press it on firmly, or file the notch a bit wider. I have the same setup and my screw was fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 I will defer to Heartbreaker since he has the same setup. I have the same trigger guard, but am using a different grip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
