KRG Bravo Fitment Issue.

[saddlerocker]

So I have had an Origin with a Medium Palma 223 Wylde for a bit.

Just recently realized the bolt handle was hitting the chassis and did some dremel work... no problem....

Come to notice marks on my barrel where the forearm screws protruding.
Are there shorter screws I can use? Washers?
Or just dremel again (I don't care about much about altering the stock)
I see now KRG says 1.25 is OK for about 4" from the action, so a palma is not really recommended, but these screws are only 1.25" from the recoil lug....

Any suggestions?

Easy button would be just add a washer or 2 to each.

Or
You could redneck em and cut them shorter
That's what I would do but put a nut on them before you cut em
The nut will clean the threads redneck style

I guess I'm going to try to find a washer that will fit. The square recess in the plastic is very small, just barely fits the screw head.

Cut with a nut is good, but need to find the proper nut.
I guess either way I gotta go to the hardware store and hope they have what's needed.

On a side note, I am shocked how much material I needed to remove to get the bolt to fully close... seems way off for an origin.

Another option, possibly, is to to a good hardware store and you can also look for smaller hardware, sometimes they will come in ∆2mm etc. Here's a set of black stainless m5 x 22 button head screws, for example.

Heres the krg schematic for reference. oem screws are m5 x25 per the diagram if I'm reading it correctly.

ETA - Of course you can also make your OEM x25 turn into x22 by using a file, just make sure to put a nut on it before you file, then spin it off to re-set the threads cleanly. (But all that can be a PITA, so ordering new hw isn't a crazy idea in terms of saving you time and mess.)

The nut is going to be the easier thing to find i guess.
Was hoping to get out and shoot tomorrow while I'm off.
Probably gonna hillbilly it unless Ace or Home depot has the screws.
