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.
