Norinco & Magpul

[Beers]

Hey guy's, I've gotten a Norinco M4 and have heard that there have been guy's that have had problems with fitting Magpul parts on 'em, especially B.A.D.'s. I had no probem with that particular item, but my new Magpul trigger gaurd, while it fit's into place OK, the holes for the pins do not line up. They are to far toward the rear of the rifle for the pins to pass through the holes by about 2 to 3 mm. So this leaves me with 2 options as I see it. 1. File the back of the front tabs on the reciever, so the gaurd will move ahead that 2mm. Or.. 2. File the inner edges on the front indents of the trigger gaurd to get the 2mm. I think the first option would be the easier to do and be the least visable to the eye, but I would like to hear any other ideas or opinions that may be out there. Thanks!

My Trigger guard lined up perfectly, that's kind of wierd.

Do you have the newer version?

Always modify the part and never the receiver. General rule. New TG's are cheap, new receivers, less so.

MOE hand guards - PITA to get on. I had no problems with my CTR stock, trigger guard, MBUS rear sight or MOE grip.

I just filed the trigger guard. I'm with Claven2 on this one.

I can't wait to get a hold of my buddies BAD lever to try, hopefully it will work. I am also hoping my BAL will work on my new to me DPMS so that part is not a loss
