| Hey guys, I just traded one of my AR15's for a DPMS 308 AR, my question is, I hate the stock pistol grip, can I put a regular Magpul MOE on it or do I need a special sized one? Also if anyone knows a store or online dealer that will ship 20 round mags to a NY LEO with ID, please let me know. Thanks. |

I don't know if a MOE will fit but a MIAD will fit the LR-308 but you'll to buy a grip wedge to fill the gap.
This: http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/stock-forend-parts/grips/pistol-grip-components/ar10-sr25-miad-wedge-black-sku100007494-42997-90983.aspx?ttver=1 hope this helps, MIAD with that wedge is how mine is set up |
| The MOE will fit but the spring for the takedown pin detent might go into a hollow spot on top of the grip. The takedown pin detent/spring on a LR308 is not in the same place as on an AR15 (held in by the stock or endplate). It is held by the grip. I had to fill in the hollow section of the MOE grip with epoxy. It works fine now. |

The rear takedown pin detent and spring are retained by the grip, red arrow in this picture. Some grips don't have a solid web right there, so you can do something like pwalker11 said to fill in the hollow area. There are some grips that do have a solid web in the right spot, but some don't so it's something you need to be aware of. This one is an Ergo grip plus the Ergo spacer, but I don't love it - too skinny. That grip wedge that gunner442 mentioned is exactly what I've been looking for, I'll be getting one of those and a MIAD asap. Thanks gunner!

Actually, the better way to handle this issue is to tap the upper portion (closest to the surface) of the hole for a small grub/set screw and retain the spring in the receiver body similar to a Mega MaTEN. With this you have no worries as to what grip you use and the spring/detent never falls out when removing the grip.

| This is not intended to offend you but is just a question. As a LEO are you exempt from NY new mag laws for your personal firearms? If so, that is the saddest law I have ever heard of. Sorry to ask a question like that, hope it does not derail the thread. But to answer your question, no, I do not know of any. |
