Magpul MOE Grip Height Issue

[aznriptide859]

Title says all - my Element HS motor is too close to the GB with my Magpul MOE grip installed, even when no height is adjusted. I've heard issues where the motor doesn't lock correctly, but mine does - it's just far too close to the gears.

 

Any ideas?

It happens with Systema motors too. They designed to motor plate to closely hug the TM endbell, however removable endbells cause problems. This is why a lot of people claim that they need to have their magpul grip motor adjustment plates all the way backed out.

 

I sanded down the base plate section where it contacts the motor such that I could use the adjustment plate to push the motor in to the proper height.

[aznriptide859]

Hmm, actually I found another method - I'm shimming the screws so the actual plate isn't all the way in.

[ThaFlash]

The deeper the motor sits in the base plate the more secure it is.

[aznriptide859]

Agreed, but it seems the actual metal screw holder thing in the plate is pushing down on the motor too far. I can't remove that, can I?

[ThaFlash]

I ground down that part of the motor a bit so that if would fit into the opening.

^The little round part on top of the endbell?

[ThaFlash]

Yeah, it's really fast with a dremel and a sanding drum. Just mask off the endbell with some tape.

[aznriptide859]

Gah, don't have my dremel with me . Guess it's gonna take some sandpaper and a lot of patience XD.

had a similar problem after i mounted an MOE on my JG S-System the hight ajuster was so margenaly on that firing auto un-wound it . will try grinding it down to shorten it see if that will help .

i have the same problem on my gun so i added some blue thread lock to the motor height screw

have the same problem, you dont need that gold screw. loosen the two plate screws slighty to adjust your motor.

[BerserkDS]

some gun actually might need the gold screw, but its so loose youll need to thread lock it. but on my TM CQBR the screw is useless, the plate screws do the adjusting.

[druid799]

have thread locked it . stuck a couple of mags through it "so far" its ok , so fingers crossed ! cheers giys .

just slightly reduce the diameter of the bearing housing/endbell such that it fits propperly into the threads of the

adjuster screw. using the plate screws is a poor solution and will allow play on the plate and likely loosen/fall out.

 

use anything it is not alot of work, as above a dremel, or just sand paper, file or even carefully with a craft knife

the end bell plastic is fairly easy to work, and it only takes baouth 0.5mm for it to fit the adjuster how it is meant

to.

 

edit, this area, reduce so it can slip fully into the threads of the adjuster screw.

[P.S.I.]

I have a (gen 1) KWA M4 and I had to modify the hell out of my MIAD to get it to work properly.

Had to notch it for the stock plate, and selector switch. And I removed a LOT of material from the motor plate. It now works great but the adjustment screw had to be backed all the way out.
