I'm missing something (well, other than my hair ).... I have my trigger done and the rollers installed on it. I took all the "guts" out of the top assembly of my gripstick quite awhile back to clean them, and not sure what I need to put back in....

Problem is that I can't figure out how to put everything back in properly along with the modded trigger, can someone shoot a couple shots of how the trip lever is held in, and a couple shots showing the gripstick components installed on a TNW, along with the safety assembly? I could probably figure it out myself, but why go through the hassle when a couple photos can explain everything quickly and easily..... Thanks for help in advance, Chris....

here is the grip assembly

trigger arm. there is a small spring under the trigger arm

Thanks! I'll fiddle with it tonight if time permits and hopefully get 'er done.... Chris

Couple more questions....I was able to get everything together tonight as the pictures were worth a thousand words. But I have to ask, what do I need to have passing through the rear portion of the trip lever (back hole), I've got the safety in place, and that's good, but I don't want to miss anything on that rear hole. I don't have any pins that fit the rear hole amongst my bags of mg34 parts, do I need a pin to pass through there? Chris....

With the TNW design is there a specific order of assembly to prevent damage to the trip lever/sear, i.e.-put the bolt in first, or put the FCG in first?

everything pretty much operates independent from one another. You can install the grip, than the bolt and vise versa. Remove them in any order. The only thing that really hangs up is when you install the bolt, you need to make sure that the ejector pin is all the way forward and stays forward when you slide the bolt forward. Other wise it will get hung up when it tries to slide under the ejector plate.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know, I have 3 parts kits, but only one of these pieces. Go figure. One parts kit came from BRP, two from Allegheny way back when.... Chris...

Some good info with still working photos.
