Description
I designed this AR grip adapter to fill a void in the market. At one time there were quite a few decent options out there, but those have all but disappeared. I designed this from the grip up with simplicity, affordability, and compatibility in mind. It is made from PA12 Nylon using cutting edge HP Multi Jet Fusion Machines right here in my home-state of Texas. It is bead blasted and dyedd for a textured matte-satin black finish. The pin and safety holes are drilled and precision reamed for a solid installation and smooth operation. The only thing that may require a little fitting is the surfaces that constrain the trigger and sear. I made them a tad on the tight side to ensure that they work for the most amount of folks. If it’s too tight for you you may need to either file the inside of the grip adapter or file the adjacent surfaces on the trigger and sear. I have 8 13XX and 2240s and tested these on them without the need to file on all, but one.
I kept many of the dimensions close to the original OEM grip frame so as to maximize compatibility with all the mods currently on the market. It comes with everything you need and you’ll reuse the original trigger, sear, pins, and safety parts. It comes with a lighter spring that replaces the OEM sear spring and replacement allen head screws. It is compatible with our AR stock adapters, rear pic adapters, Plumper Pumper, and 2240 Forearm. It is also compatible with power adjusters. It is not compatible with the OEM 1399 rifle stock.
This grip adapter is compatible with AR Grips without beavertails. I’ve tested it with Hogue, KRISS, Ergo, and Magpul Grips. My preferred grip for this platform is the Magpul MOE K Grip. I’ve set that as the default option, but you can also order it without a grip or with the standard Milspec A2 grip in black or FDE. The grip screw does not screw into plastic. It screws into a steel square nut inset into the AR grip rib. It comes with the grip hardware needed for installation. Please watch the installation video below before purchasing:
Installation is easy, if you follow along with the video. Watch it first, so you know what is coming. Lots of small parts you need to keep track of: super tiny ball bearing, a small spring, and 2 pivot pins need to be carefully saved (I lost the spring, but left-over AR parts yielded a spring I was able to use. Whew!).
Added bonus. Trigger pull was reduced to an average 1.5# pull!
My other 2240 is configured as a carbine, with the longer barrel and a stock. Both are shown in the accompanying photo.
