Fix my gun Taipan X and the Tommy Enterprises Picatinny foregrip adapter

Post image

Hi,

UPDATE: I got an email reply from Tommy Enterprises in the next hour I emailed them.
They instructed me for a few steps and now the parts have mounted properly. I need to test it at the range tho.

The products are fine and it is just some tweaking to installing correctly.

Perhaps an installation video would be great 👍

Thanks for all the comments!

Question:

I got the Taipan X and the Tommy Enterprises Picatinny foregrip adapter for mounting a foregrip.

I have issues to mount it on.

I m not sure why the rail adapter (lower in the photo) have no cutout notches to fit the pump rail.

There is a difference on the original one (top in the photo). Snug fit.

The existing bolt is not long enough either.

Anyone had the same experience of this and willing to shed some light?

Thanks in advance!

People should really stop buying from Tommy Enterprise - you never hear good stories about the stuff.

They have replied by email with it an hour, which is very fast. Perhaps an installation video would be great for newbie 👍

Hi there, I've mounted this kit this past Monday and I did find that it required some careful manipulation of the metal moving parts inside the handguard so that the bolts would engage properly.

What I did was to mount the two side rails (easier than mounting the bottom) first which aligns the moving pump slide connector properly. Once aligned properly, it's easier to gently push it down a bit so that the bolts engage with the screw holes in the moving pump slide connector.

Something in the mechanism (presumably the spring) has a tendency to pull the whole pump slide connector up and rotate it a few degrees. Once you've aligned one side rail, it's easier to get the other side rail on, and once you've got both side rails on, it's easier to get the bottom rail to align and connect.

If you try this approach (one side, other side, then bottom) and you're still having trouble, let me know here in this thread and I can try to post some pics.

Thanks 🙏 for the reply. I'll try it and let you know.

Which foregrip you end up mounting? I want to get magpul AFG 1..

It’s not even that hard to add the tabs. I made a demo set to see if I liked the smaller profile handles but just cut down my original handles a bit for how I wanted.https://ibb.co/yFQNrDNH

You can even put a little tab in the middle that locks into the block there as well. He was a bit lazy there with the design.

I just cut the raised ridge off the receiver side of the handles. I can slide my hand off of them easier and let the spring send it back home when cycling the action instead of pumping both directions like a shotgun.https://ibb.co/6cSRR0NJ (My dumb wood buttstock there too)
