Emag with new acrylic grips

[Rob-0]

I just got 2 new sets of acrylic grips from Stinger paintball for my emag, one is clear smoked and one has a image on it. On the right side of the grip (non LCD side) there is a screw that sticks out (I was not aware of the screw when I ordered the grips), because of this I can not install the grip on that side.

The stock grips have a small indent to allow for this screw. I could try to counter sink by drilling into the grip or I could try making a hole in the grips, I am not sure how this will affect the clear on but I think it would damage the image on the other one.

Any suggestions


I am also contacting stinger paintball.

Thanks

I just bought a shorter screw at the hardware store to fit my SPD grips.

Just take the stock screw to the store with you to match up the threading and get something shorter. :cheers:

Where is this screw that sticks out your talking about :tard:

It's the bottom screw holding the emag board in place. It protrudes out to the other side of the frame.

I will go looking for one later today.

It is the screw that goes into the solenoid mount, I could not find a good image of it.

I would not say it is the bottom screw it is near the middle of the grip. I will take a picture of it soon.

Oh, that one? I got confused :)

I didn't bother using that screw. I'm sure someone may disagree, but with both panels secured, the solenoid mount isn't going anywhere.

Ok, I will take it out to see how it feels.

I'll agree with twilight on this one , the screw ( IIRC ) basicly keeps the solenoid from moving to far , the solenoid "floats " in the frame

I just put the stingers on my Xmag. i took out the scrre that holds the noid, the flat acrylics seem to keep it a lil snug anyways, and the screw that holds the board in, i just dremeled the tip off and it works fine

i took the screw out of my xmag and the grips hold it in nice and tight. no worries there! also, chop a little off the board screw and you should be fine :clap:

You could counter sink the hole in the solenoid holder and use a counter sink screw to hold it in place. That way there would be no surface protruding but it would still maintain a tight hold on the solenoid.

Thanks for all the advice, I took the screw out and nothing is moving around. I also dremeled down the other screw a bit.

What grip panels did you pick up

[Rudz]

I took the screw out of my xmag years ago and it'd been just fine without it

[Rob-0]

I got 2 different ones, I have not decided which ones to go with.

This pictures are not the best
