Hey all.
Quick question on pistol grips and motor height adjustment.
Took off the AK pistol grip to adjust the motor slightly. I also noticed the grip screw wasn't really tight from the factory but the grip was solid against the reciever. Sounded good stock. Just wanted to see if I could improve it.
Tightened the motor a bit. Sounded great! Put the grip back on and tightened it up to maximum, screechy as hell. Backed off the grip screw and sounded fine as it did when stock (remember it wasnt fully tight from factory)
I checked the grip screw as they can be a little too long and can force the motor height screw up, so installed the grip screw tight without the grip and the motor sounded fine.
It only gets screechy with the grip installed and the grip screw fully tightened up.
I suspect that the slim grip is pushing the motor up when the grip screw is fully tightened, possibly by the spade connectors which are slightly wider then the motor. Anyone else have this problem before? Maybe I need to dremel the inside of the bottom of the pistol grip a bit where the motor would be? Maybe I should just leave the grip screw not tightened up all the way like I recieved from factory?
Please note, it is NOT the grip screw being too long, I have already ruled it out.
