SlvrDragon50 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I just drilled into my handguard only to realize that the matchsaver can't go there because of the action bar riding the grooves in the handguard... so any tips on how to get this matchsaver installed with bolts? Or is velcro the only solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpom Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 A rivet maybe? Usually very low profile. Downside is can be a bitch to remove, though aluminum is not too bad to drill out. Would not work if there is not enough room to get the rivet tool in good position. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlvrDragon50 Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Just spoke to Tom at MOA who uses one. Guess I need to tap the plastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you tapped the forearm itself and just screwed right into it? Then trimmed where it came through? Need to add one to me affinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was gonna do stiff velcro, but didn't inspire confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is solid. I used rubber washers underneath to help lock in the screws and give some tension. I have a 3 gun match tomorrow and will report back how it is. I still need to get used to it though because I'm catching shells on my bolt release or the lip of the ejection port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah give us a report, and good luck in your match. I am having good luck with my Affinity. Glad I bought it! Had some problems at first, but on advice from a good shotgun guy, I did a good polishing of internals and it runs smooth and reliably with anything I have tried.

SlvrDragon50 Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 I haven't shot in over 1 month Gonna go great! Haha. Also have a new to me Vortex Razor HD that I'm pumped to use. Luckily I got my Affinity worked over by Tom at MOA so it's been brilliant from the start. In case you haven't seen, MOA is releasing an auto load function soon!

Celishi Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I did not hold the gun for more than 4 months due to injury, so I want to return ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
