Marschall Grip Screw Problems

Hey all,

I just bought a set of Marschal grips for my P64. They grips are beautiful, but they don't work with my grip screw. The grip screw is a few millimeters too short. The other end doesn't even reach the threaded area.

I looked to see if a different screw was in the packaging but found nothing. Before I surely destroy the grips trying to deepen the hole so the screw will fit has anyone encountered this?

I was going to do this until I got my grips.
I also noticed I had to put the screw in from the side with the safety.

You'll probably be looking for a Metric 3 (M3) .50 pitch screw. Give that a shot and see if it works.

Hey all,

I found the metric screw I needed. It was really hard to find one long enough, but I found one. I had to trim it down and paint it, but everything seems to be in order now. Thanks!

This info has been on the site here: http://p64resource.com/fixes.php for nearly 5 years now. I suggest everyone have a look around the actual site and see if you can't find the answer to your question there first.
