As previous poster said, the K Grips fit super tightly. Maybe you could try to tap it lightly with a soft rubber smith's mallet from the base of the grip. Sometimes the anodizing on lowers can be a little thicker than normal, and this can cause the issue you are experiencing. We use Magpul grips, on almost all of our builds, have never found a product made by them that was out of spec....I'm not saying it can't happen, because as I know first hand, in manufacturing - anything can happen! However, Magpul has always been very good at keeping defective products from leaving their facilities.

My K2 was pretty tight on my MEGA lower, but snugged down nicely with a little muscle and then when I tightened the bolt. Using an Allen wrench instead of a screwdriver helps.

I used a dremel and sandpaper on mine...I think my lower might have been a skosh out of spec, it was a blem anyway. Wasn't too worried about a $20 plastic part.

Just put one of these MOE-K grips on my carbine this morning, and yes it was a tight fit, but did not need much force to gut it on.
Really an improvement on the TAPCO SAW grip it came with (I have small hands). |
