First we'll presume that you have the magazine fixed in place already..
Have you tried screwing down the grip screw without having the grip attached? Maybe the finishing was a little thick, or possibly you were cross-threading the screw. Try installing the screw by itself first and post back if you have the same problems. |

Yes I do have a fixed magazine in place.
Secondly I tried what you said. I took off the grip and tried the screw by itself and still only goes in 1/4 of the way and stops. I tried the screw on another lower I have and it seems to go in fine. I guess you were right and the coating is to thick. Any tool I can use to fix this problem? |

A tap will clean up the threads, but I don't know the thread pitch of the screw hole.

Clean out the hole with some CLP and a pick, etc. Use a dental pick-style tool to clean the threads. Excess coating may not stick on well and may clean up nicely.
Lube threads on bolt and hole w/a bit of CLP too I went thru this with my ASA lowers 7 years ago. Bill Wiese San Jose |

Thanks for all your help guys.
Tried the CLP but still had the same problem. So I used a tap and it cleaned it right up. |
