Can you help a bro' out? I own three LMT 5.56mm MRPs and have shot them extensively, so I'm familar with how these rifles work and can be mod-ed out.

Just received my 16" .308 LM8 MWS with slickside receiver. I really like it, but want to make some small ergonomic mods ...

I had a spare MP MOE trigger-guard laying around in my parts bin, but it wouldn't fit the spacing in the LM8's trigger guard, specifically @ the backend side where the rollpin goes. The lower receiver on mine is a late 2013 production. What aftermarket curved trigger guards fit the .308 MRPs without modification? (On a separate thread, I read where the KAC trigger guard also doesn't fit the current .308 MRPs.)

On the stock grip, it's okay, but I'd prefer replacing it with something like a TangoDown or MagPul MIAD. Do/will these fit the MRP .308 (again, w/o modification)?

Appreciate your help.

I put a TD large grip on my MWS and it fit fine. There is a small gap between the beaver tail and the receiver that the stock Ergo grip covers, but I'd rather have the TD grip with the gap than the Ergo without.
 
Sorry to get back late, but thanks for the suggestions. :cool:
I'm still looking at what grips are out there for the .308 ARs, including the LT's APEX, Bravo Co.'s Gunfighter Mod-1 grip, and TD's BG-17 grip. Looking for the right grip size (my hand is large, though not huge) and compatibility w/ installing the MOE curved trigger guard. Other than that, my LM8 seems good-to-go.
