Grip stick question

Post by Pirate »

When doing the mods do you start from the origonal trigger pin location?
or is the trigger pivot relocated?

you will have to remove the material on either side of the trigger area and weld new plates on the outside of the grip so there is enough width for the ar trigger/hammer.

I set up the hammer so that it would be almost straight up when it hit the firing pin and as low as possible so there would less interfearnce when the bolt is on the return cycle.

with the hammer location set you will have the new trigger pin location. just remember that the ar trigger must bottom out on the grip so that there is not too much pressure on the disconnect when you pull the trigger all the way back (nasty trigger snap, I found out the hard way). If the disconnect moves too far forward because of the excess trigger movement you will bottom out the small spring on the disconnect thus trigger snap.

when I shot off the tripod with the remote trigger the 'snap' egged out the pin hole on the trigger assembly because there is no give in the rod that pulls the trigger back. If the gun was just fired with finger pressure I think the pin holes would have been ok until I fixed the problem because your finger will move forward with the trigger.


after I put new side plates on I temperd the holes like you do with the ak's.
