After reading some of the reviews on MDArms Molot grip, I ordered two, one for my Yugo M70 and a second as a gift for a friend with a Wasr-10.
With a bit of fitting––relieving the grip to allow it to fit over the rear trigger guard rivet––mine went on my Yugo just fine but my friend is having a bit of trouble with his. I haven't laid eyes on what the problem is but according to his last e-mail:
"Seems that my lower has a big "lump" that does not allow the grip to go on. Drat!!!, because the grip is big enough to fit my hand, which the original does not. I looked both parts over and there is no way it can be made to fit. When I removed the grip, I found a small spring the sets in the left side of the grip and pushes up into the main frame. The question is what is this spring? and what does it do? There is no hole in the new grip for that spring either."
My long distance diagnosis is that the lump he is refering to is either the tapped stub into which the grip bolt threads into or the rear trigger guard rivet. Does this seem reasonable? In which case all we need to do is relieve the inside supports in the new grip until it slides into place. But, I have no idea what the spring is that he mentions. Can some one please educate me on what it is and its's function.
thanks,
