Sorry to hear the heating idea didn’t pan out for you. But to answer your question, yes I just took a small file and opened up the grip hole about a 1/32"-1/16" and tightened it down pretty good and the pics show the rest.
Hope it helps you with yours…
I installed a MOE grip on my DDM4V7 that required me to file the hole a bit forward to make a flush fit with the lower receiver.
Yea, that seems to be a common “fix” with what I’ve seen and heard so far. I’m fairly pleased with how mine turned out but I may pick up one of DD’s new grips when they are available.
I would think they should fit like a glove…
Recently installed a Magpul MOE + grip on my 6920 and it fit perfectly. I really like the rubberized feel. Just the right amount and not too tacky.
That grip fit is good. Go put some ammo through it and review the grip.
It looks like the issue with the gap is the tang on the grip impacting the magpul trigger guard. Seems to me that the only thing needed would be to file/sand a little on the tang to allow the grip to snug itself up and in.
That is what I did
Removed a little material as needed
I agree. I’m pretty pleased with it. Can’t seem to get a day off work to go try it out but when I do I’ll be sure and make a little review from what I experience.
I believe you are correct as well. When I look real close at the fitment on my rifle, that little tang appears to be what is holding it out that last couple of millimeters.
I will probably leave mine as is until the new DD grips are available for purchase, pick one of those up and then probably experiment more with the BCM.
For now though, I’m pleased with how it turned out.
Would you have any pics of how yours looks now? Maybe what process you used to remove some of the material off the tang? Dremel, sand paper, etc?
Thanks for your reply.
