Installing an Ergo...have question

I finally got my LPK and put together my first lower. No big deal. it was fun. But i got an ergo and trying to put it on. It doesnt lock down tight. I tighted the grip screw and the ergo will rotate foward and back. Anyone else had this problem? The regular grip tightens fine with no play. Thoughts?

Try a 1/4" washer, or two. Usually grips come with a star washer.

The last two I installed were like that as well. Use a 1/4" lock washer and problem solved.

Yeah, the LPK came with the star washer and i have that on...not tight. Its a spikes lower, RRA LPK. like i sad the standard grip locks up. I'll try either the extra flat washers or locknut.
