[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Houge Grip Getting Loose

Posted: 10/29/2004 7:12:33 PM EDT

Howdy guys. My grip is getting loose and starting to rock forward and backward on the lower. I looked at the build it yourself guide, and the grip install is not in there, and there was a TM link here, but I am probably dense and do not see it. It looks like a single allen key in there with a star washer. What size is it, and anything I should look out for?

Sorry, just a little hesitant to break/shear off anything on my baby.

Thanks for your help.

I cant remember what size the allen head is.I tossed the allen head screw and replaced it with a slotted head screw long ago.
If the grip is loose just snug it up a bit.Do not ham fist the screw driver.Just snug it up until the grip stops moving around.

The grip screw uses a 3/16" allen... I use a long T-handled allen to make it easy to reach inside the Hogue and tighten the screw...

Loc-tite is your friend, the purple or blue stuff. A long T-handle is a must too. I recently ordered a Cav Arms/Falcon Ergo grip and they don't include a %@#!*&^ hex with the grip! Tango down Battlegrip does.
