I am installing my new benchmark rt 2x (thank you tunaman) and I have the spacer. when i take apart my gun there is a small metal tube that i assume fits the feild strip screw nicely. Here is my problem the spacer will not fit unless I remove this tube. Should I remove it? Please just help me with the install. Please reply quick.:confused:

If your grip is for an RT and you are trying put it on an regular mag, you put the spacer in the hole in the back of the grip. You then put the feild strip screw through the hole (that now has a spacer in it) and screw it into your AIR/retro valve.

I have that part down except that there is this small metal tube in the hole where the field strip screw normally passes through the rail do I remove that.

Thats the rail bushing...that stays in the rail. You need to have both.

the rail bushing should fit in side the spacer?

If you are telling me that the silver rail bushing will not fit inside of the brass spacer, then AGD has made a mistake and sent me the wrong part. I am aware of only 1 type of brass spacer to fit this application, someone correct me if I am wrong.

I am using pliers and it still will not fit. The brass spacer only has enough room for the feild strip screw to pass through it. By the way thank you for the stickers and the grips it is beautiful.

if you cannot do this...AGD must have made a mistake and sent the wrong bushing. I just opened another Z grip and it has the right spacer...http://server3003.freeyellow.com/tunaman2/bushing.JPG

put it this way... if my life depended on it i could never make it fit like that. Does yours just slip in or did you need a hammer.

Just slips in....sabbatoged by AGD! I will get them to send me another...or you could call them, it would be faster I suppose. Let me know what you want to do. Sorry about that...Shunt happens!

Powertube spacers DO NOT fit in the frame hole. You can't use that.

Just tell them you need the spacer for the ZGRIP, with the .25" inside diameter hole for the rail bushing. Real sorry...suppose I should have checked it first. I won't make that mistake again.

thanks a trillion. does the z-grip spacer have the same outside diameter as the rt benchmark though?

Tunaman

I believe the hole in the RT ZGrip Frame and the RT Benchmark are the same. I am coming up with frame hole size of .355 or so.

they almost work...but they're a bit too short and just a bit to wide in the inner diameter. Hey man I tried:)Hmm it's very odd that AGD would screw up here......

ok i am sure they probably would have the same outside because of the whole bajo bolt thing. ok then I can't thank you enough for all the help you have been.Ups for Tunaman!!!

UNFORTUNATELY, WE DON'T MAKE SPACERS FOR BENCHMARK FRAMES. HOWEVER, i RECOMMEND TAKING THE RAIL BSHING (MUST REMOVE IT FROM THE RAIL OF COURSE) AND GRINDING IT DOWN SO THAT IT FITS THE RAIL PERFECTLY WITHOUT ANY EXTRUSION FROM THE BUSHING. THIS WILL WORK. AS FOR THE POWERFEED PLUG, I WOULD NEED YOU TO SEND ME
YOUR SERIAL NUMBER
NAME
ADDRESS
PHONE
EMAIL WRITTEN OUT
AND SAY YOU WANT A PARABOLIC POWERFEED PLUG

TILL THEN
