It will fit it just takes some elbow grease. I had the same problem. Just get the bolt started for the grip and tighten it down.

some wiggling, a third hand, and holding your tongue just right does the trick for me

I actually had to take a small file and seriously file down several spots on the inside flats of the MOE grip to get it on the lower of a project rifle I'm building. No big deal –– I don't expect everything to fit perfectly, and I don't mind making them perfect with a little effort.

Yep force it on, it'll go eventually. You shouldn't need to file or sand it, a lot of guys do, but then you lose that nice tight fit

They are a tight fit. This is what I did...
Once I got the grip a couple millimeters onto the lower I put a little oil on the flats of the lower. Then just tightened the bolt until the grip was tight. |

Apply KY, dim the lights and it'll go right in.

They are extremely tight on my lower, but with a little effort it went on

I just built mine a few weeks ago, all from PSA, and I had to put my lower in my vise and use a screwdriver with a square shaft and a small wrench to turn it. Make sure you use he screw that came with the MOE grip and not the standard mil-spec screw.
