| Greetings, I have a DPMS lower with a MIAD grip installed, I opted to get a MOE for a color change. To my surprise the MOE wouldn't fit, is it common that one would need to trim to fit a MOE grip as opposed to a drop in fit of a MIAD? The grip isn't just slightly smaller, I would need to get the ole dremel out and do some hella grinding. Thanks for the replies..... |

First... green? Are you serious? Please change it to black. It's readable and less obnoxious. Worse than all caps.
Second, I had the same issue with my DDM4. I was about to re-sculpt the inside as well. I was able to "rock" it onto the gun by getting a corner of it into the grip. By the Time I had taken the grip off the 3rd time to adjust it it went on much easier. I can't really describe how I did it, but basically you just need to force it on and muscle it around. |

Work it hard, back and forth, front to rear
That's what she said! 
The Magpul MOE's are a very tight fit! Don't start dremeling just yet. As others have already posted, push that sucker in there. It will fit even if it seems too tight. I thought the exact same thing until I continued to keep forcing it and eventually it made it's way in there! |

Thats what she said 
But in all seriousness just use a little elbow grease and it will slide on there. |
| I just put one on my AR a couple of weeks ago. Couldnt get it on it was so tight. I was about to file fit it a bit then I had an idea. Soaked it in a cup of very hot tap water for a few minutes to soften it up a little. Sprayed the metal grip stud on the receiver with a little WD40. One tap with a rubber mallet and it slid right on. Nice tight fit. |
