tpanfil Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Any recommendations for a replacement grip that is larger than the stock grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecan95242 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 CAA G27. They are around $30 everywhere online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 That's what I have - be advised, it is not a drop-in part - fitting is required.TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpanfil Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Thanks guys. Not being a drop in part, what needs to be done to modify it? Is it as simple as drilling a hole in the correct location, or is there more extensive Dremel work to be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 If I remember, I enlarged the mounting hole, and added a slightly longer mounting bolt and a large flat washer.TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpanfil Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Easy enough, thanks again. :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Just looked inside my grip- the NEW hole was actually to allow the Colt's hammer strut to be where it needs to be, and I had added a star washer, not a flat washer. Hope this helps.TMSorry for the original bad info. Age sucks! Unless fortified with adult beverages. Then ya just don't care. :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raiders Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 So when you say you modified the hole was it the hole on the grip on on the rifle? I havent had a chance to see how the orignal grip is mounted. Can you post some photos? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raiders Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Another question. Will any ar-15/m-4 grip work? I like the command arms but just wondreing if any grip for a ar-15/m-4 would work? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent had a chance to see how the orignal grip is mounted. Can you post some photos? ThanksI didn't take any pics before I modded the new grip, a CAA G-27, so I can't do a B-4 & after. The OEM grip is mounted with 1 screw from the bottom. Just make your new grip look like the OEM, with respect to the mounting hole, and the second hole for the hammer strut. It's not a perfect fit, but good enough for me, and much more ergo than the OEM. I can't say if any AR grip will fit, the one I bought fit with the aforementioned mod.

raiders Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Thanks TM for the info. I ordered my grip yesterday so I will get it installed and post some before and after pics with the mods on the grip. :grin: :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomstone Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 I got a Magpul MIAD Grip, it has different sized front and back straps to fit your hand size. It was not a drop in, had to use a 7/32 drill bit to move the screw and the hammer holes a little bit. Why the designers didn't make it Mil-Spec like the tube and hand guard is a mystery, great rifle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Wood Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I bought a Hogue M15/M4 grip for my Colt M4 22lr Ops. The screw hole was in the wrong place but a drill quickly fixed that. I also took a drill bit and widened the hole for the hammer strut into an oval as it was slightly small and did not allow the rifle to fire. It works great and I really like the feel.

techmike Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hey Glowin, how is it going? George, how do you like that grip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Wood Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 IGeorge, how do you like that grip?I like it a lot good feel and I really like the slightly thicker size. Also have a Hogue grip on my Sig P232. After reading your post about the loose pin issue (which I have) I am wondering if you can explain to me how the grip relates to the pin friction? Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hi George, Short answer on the loose pins is: The grip screw threads into the trigger group, and when tightened will position the trigger group in the lower's housing. The rear pin goes thru the lower, and when the comp is tightened is supposed to draw every everything together. If the trigger group is in the wrong position, the comp cannot draw everything together, hence the loose pins. Another way to try to remedy would be to remove your aftermarket grip, then put the rest of the rifle back together and tighten the comp. Pins should now be tight. Now try to put the grip back on. I am on the road right now, so will try for a more complete answer in a few days.Regards,MikePS At least that is how I remember it- have been away from home and hardware for a month.
