Trumpet Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Ok, so I'm gradually getting this thing together. Anyway, I went to install my MIAD 1.1 today, and it wouldn't fit without a gap between the grip and receiver. I think the curve of the "beavertail" doesn't match the receiver, as it works with the flat non-beavertail backstrap (which is ugly and uncomfortable). Anyone else have this issue? Issue of the grip or the receiver? Any chance Magpul might have another backstrap? Any good ideas for trimming the backstrap that won't look like a dog's ass?

jtallen83 Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Magpul makes a MIAD specific to the "AR-10" platform. Still might not matter with no real spec on the 308AR's. http://www.primaryarms.com/mag521-blk/p/mag521-blk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpet Posted October 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Yeah, I just found out they make a Type 1 (MAG520) and a Type 2 (MAG521...which is what I got from Primary). Evidently, I need the type 1 backstraps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washguy Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) I use these ...they used to come with ergo grips http://www.midwayusa.com/product/813357/ergo-the-gapper-trigger-guard-spacer-ar-15-rubber-black they have em on ebay too thats what fills in the gap oh crap now its down to generation of the lower just to fit a grip lol geeez aint that rich? I missed the point....you are talking about the backstrap...not the space between grip and lower? Edited October 15, 2016 by washguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

392heminut Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Wash, he's referring to the beavertail at the back of the grip where it mates with the receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
