I just ordered a Troy modular grip but that sucker is tiny! yeah it works pretty good the way I have it. Its a Samon Mfg Evolution AL short vert grip. The hardware spacing is different so I had to add the short sig rail behind it, cut a relief in the bottom edge of the rail section to "pinch" or clamp the vert grip opposing side that did not have a hardware hole to match. Its solid this way. I wouldnt try using it with just one screw, may come loose. I guess I "bubba'ed" it but I dont have much to work with since Sig is so slow at getting products out there. |

are those just standard KAC rail panels? did you need to modify them any way to get them to fit? Looks good dude! :)

That is totally awesome. I had myself convinced I dont need a 3 lug, and thread mount is fine. Now I am not so sure.
If my Omega 9k ever gets out of ATF jail I'll have to make that call. Does the handguard get hot after a few mags? |

I'm striping my MPX to Cerakote it.
I removed the roll pin in front of the dust cover to slide the rod forward so I can remove the dust cover and spring. How in the Sam hell do I slide that rod out the front of the upper? |

Edit: Yes, its the M-LOK off set rail.
