    Posted: 20 May 2005 at 9:18pm

I just got my A-5 e-grip in the mail.  In step 5 it asks you to inspect the e trigger kit lower receiver.  When you look down at the trigger assembly from the top it says there should be no gaps in the plastic pieces, however, mine does have a gap on one side.  I can easily squeeze it back together, but as soon as I pull the trigger a few times the gap opens back up (it is just a small gap 1/16").  I'm sure its fully functional.  I just want to know if this is a problem and if I should send it back.  Also, my safety switch is on the wrong side...that shouldn't matter should it?

One more thing.  In the front of the hand grip where the two small holes are to adjust the ROF, the plastic pieces are not flush and there is a small gap from a little bit above the top hole all the way down to half an inch below the bottom hole.  Should I unscrew the egrip and assemble it back together to see if they will join flushly?

Any advice would be appreciated.

OK...I figured out why you there can't be gaps in the trigger assembly--they need to be pulled together so that it fits up into the upper receiver properly.

I'm still wondering about the small gap in the front of the grip??  I don't want to put the fittings and stuff on it if I need to send it back?

One more question...should I use loctite or teflon threadlock tape?  which is better?

Thanks again
