Sorry about that, our timing was off. Now it is. Thanks for your support!

Very good point and thanks for taking time to comment the details which I'm sure will help others with this stock. The pin is not necessary, but it helps by serving a couple of purposes. 1) It keeps the locking pin from rotating (due to vibrations) to the point where you can't put an allen wrench through the hole to adjust the position. 2) It keeps the parts from falling out if the stock is ever removed by someone else or your future self who doesn't remember.

We have another video that explains it better. At about the 1 minute mark it shows why our safety and mag release work great with our grip. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmeVoJmAYsqljZosi=9OpZWZ4OIQIOlHzt

We think it would fit the Hellion, but it may not have room for your hand to wrap around. IF it did allow room for your thumb to wrap around (like a pistol style grasp), then it may be an issue in California, because it would allow the web of your hand to be below the top of the exposed portion of the trigger. Please email or call if you have further questions.

Because the onerous laws in CA say that an adjustable stock on a centerfire semiauto rifle with a detachable magazine is an AW. Separating the upper from the lower makes it not semiauto and therefore not an "AW". According to California Code of Regulations, Title 11, Division 5, Chapter 39 Assault Weapons and Large-Capacity Magazines, Article 2, § 5471, (3)

The Knipex stuff made in Germany is awesome! Not happy that we used a China screwdriver in the beginning though. Investing in proper tools whenever possible is worthwhile and can be proudly passed down to your kids.

We get it and understand the frustration and appreciate open discussion. There is another side to it we would like to point out. More than 20 years ago, the first and second assault weapons ban in CA completely eliminated the sale of these rifles until some people invented work arounds. If gun stores didn't have these options to put AR's and AK's on the walls, then many (including many of us here at Sparrow) wouldn't have been introduced to them or have seen them as normalized for civilians. Millions of rifles have been sold in CA and millions of new shooters introduced to them over the years because gun stores can and do legally sell them. Improvements in compliant options over the last decade have made these rifles in CA even more popular. But sadly, each time the legislature makes new onerous and unconstitutional laws, we see gun owners moving away from these rifles and looking to bolt action and lever action rifles... THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT! We want more people introduced to shooting, and then understand that "black rifles" are not evil and the importance of the 2A, and how they can help to reverse these unconstitutional laws. We are very close to winning 3+ court cases that will have an impact nation wide. P.S. It is up to the individual how they configure their rifle and how/if they will comply with these laws or not. The few hundred gun stores (which are mostly small family businesses) in CA definitely do not have this choice if they want to keep their business, support their families, and stay out of prison.

Yes it is a compliance thing to deal with unconstitutional laws here. Nut shell: In CA, with semi-auto centerfire, you either have to have a fixed magazine, or a rifle without "evil" features. This rifle grip does not meet the DOJ definition of a pistol grip. People in "free-er" states occasionally buy our grip for bench rifles, or for more compact AR pistols (for backpacks, etc.).

Yes, but the grip on the DD has an integrated trigger guard that you will need to replace. We have nice ones on our site (if they aren't there, they should be back in stock soon).

Your trigger guard isn’t available. 😢

@@hnavalta I'll double check inventory. I know we have some, but they probably just need to get packaged. They should be up on the website soon.

I managed to strip mine somehow so it's not coming out. Sparrow was nice enough to send me a parts kit since I somehow managed to misplace (my organization borders on OCD, so I don't know how I lost it) mine.

I had the same issue. I ended up getting a pair of pliers/wire cutters and just saw off the existing pin on both sides. I think key is make sure it can’t be adjusted without needing a tool, so just shortening the existing pin should be okay if the screw is not moving

Sorry, no. We do have an innovative design figured out, but can't make it at this time due to the cost and the uncertainty about the future of the "AW" ban. We are looking forward to a good ruling from Judge Benitez and eventually being able to scrap our injection mold tooling.

Possibly. We don't know the diameter of the pin on the B5.

Magpul CTR. This also works with MOE adjustable stocks. The SL-K can be fixed even easier than this just by removing a couple screws and dropping a pin out, then replacing the screws. We will try to get to that video some day.

No plans... we feel it would move your hand too far back... let alone, you couldn't sell enough to justify the mold tool cost. But, you can use our current grip on large frame receivers. It isn't ideal, but it does work.... sparrowdynamics.medium.com/faq-will-your-crg-15-grip-work-on-an-ar10-or-lr308-rifle-1e2da7ff61ea

Sorry, for the late reply. We don't know how your stock was fixed. You could email us a photo and we can probably help.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes and yes. Just ask for the pins in the order comment. There is a sale still going on today too.

They are an uncommon metric size with a larger hole (thinner walls) that we bought in bulk from our fastener dealer. None of the ones I could find at hardware stores would work without some grinding and they wouldn't allow a nail or allen wrench to fit through. If you are buying something from us, you can ask for one and we will throw it in the package for free. Later we may add them to our site for about a buck.

@@sparrowdynamics thanks, I just ordered an item and requested to add one of the pins with the order.

It might possibly work with the Strike Industries MOD1 stock because there are small holes through the lever. But on a Magpul stock the bent part of the paperclip is in a recessed area where it is impossible to grab it without a tool (which is one aspect that might be important for compliance). It looks like you might be able to remove the paperclip without a tool on the SI stock... we don't know for sure because we don't have one to test. Also, please consider buying a stock made in USA. The Magpul SL-S stock has an even easier way to pin it (video coming soon), and here is a link for pinning a BCM MOD-0 stock that is pretty easy too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6i3YZuHfbGniMk

We figured out after making this video that filing a wedge shape into the end of the paperclip using a fingernail file helps it "cut" past that spring much easier. Glad it worked for you! And thanks for the feedback. Hopefully in CA we can win the Miller case and then throw our paperclips in the trash!

Understandable and thanks for the feedback. This is why we posted about this in our FAQ's on our website. The grip works best with, and was designed for, small frame receivers. sparrowdynamics.medium.com/faq-will-your-crg-15-grip-work-on-an-ar10-or-lr308-rifle-1e2da7ff61ea We are here to help CA gun owners deal with unconstitutional laws, not stick customers with a grip that doesn't work for them, so please email us if you would like to return it for a refund or credit. Miller v. Bonta case has some recent movement since the SCOTUS ruled on NYSRPA v. Bruen. So, hopefully soon (maybe later this year or next) we can just put pistol grips back on our rifles.

@@sparrowdynamics The speed of shipping and materials were top notch. As a company, I have a positive view kf Sparrow Dynamics. As it was reasonably priced, I think going to give this grip to my brother which has an AR15 in case he wants to remove button that detaches the upper receiver on his gun. That mod stops him from having a functioning bolt catch and this grip, if it fits his Ar15 will fix that issue

Yes, a screw and washer are included.

Do you find the gas blow back and noise amazing (in a good sense) or that people complain about it... I say both. LOL! I find that the 3 port isn't much different than the 2 port in noise, concussion, etc. when you try them side by side. Much of that is just perception of others thinking it should be really bad because there is a third port.

@@sparrowdynamics Most friends run mag locks so they can have the "evil features" So they are used to nice calm AR "quite" shooting lmfao. I love the noise and the pressure. Odd one out I guess. But I do ALWAYS get a kick out of people freaking out when they start to shoot just that surprised Pikachu face. Makes me lol every time.

@@devonm5037 would you go with this or a compensator if concerned about hearing loss? I have a bit of hearing problems already and was planning to pin and weld this to a carbine 14.5-inch barrel in CA. Of course I will be wearing walker's ear pro.

Thanks Bob! We really appreciate the positive comments and your support!

Awesome! Thanks for your feedback and support. We are hopeful for a good decision from the Supreme Court in the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen case. They already hear this case in November 2021, and a good ruling will positively affect current California lawsuits Duncan, Miller, Rupp, etc.

@@sparrowdynamics thank you for your support for all us here in California. Your greatly appreciated, keep on rocking in the free world.

Just purchased these products sans the barrel thread protector. It’s my first AR. Wish me luck on the install.

@@Goodzz Call or email if you need any help! 🤛

Awesome! We also like the Magpul stocks with the locking levers (ie. CTR, STR) for that reason (hiding the paper clip). It is a clean and easy way to lock it.

@@sparrowdynamics what models will hide the paperclip?

@@dennisteran3031 The CTR shown in the video, and any other Magpul stock that has a second "locking" lever that keeps the stock from wiggling. BUT, also Magpul has a new stock that use a sheet metal piece instead of a round pin, the MOE SL-S. These can be fixed much easier without a paperclip even. We hope to have another video out soon showing that. We do not know at this time if they make other stocks with this sheet metal piece.

@@sparrowdynamics cant wait! I have these stocks id love to know how to do this in stupid CT

More ports definitely reduce recoil. Muzzle brakes all have a big flash. Not sure there would be any difference with the number of ports. Flash has a lot to do with the size of the exit hole and the geometry around it. If you live in CA and want to learn more about flash hiders on featureless rifles... sparrowdynamics.medium.com/faq-is-this-muzzle-brake-legal-94901d038ddb

Glad we could help, and we appreciate your support!

Thanks! Glad it helped!
