Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of Hogue's G-10 AR-15 accessories?

Hogue's G-10 accessories, including grips and trigger guards, are made from a durable, high-pressure thermoset plastic laminate with woven fiberglass and epoxy resin. They offer excellent strength, weather resistance, and a distinctive aesthetic, with options like Piranha Green camo texturing.

What tools are needed to install Hogue AR-15 G-10 accessories?

Installation requires a Magwell block, armorer's wrench, hammer, roll pin punches, a file, hex wrench, and AeroShell 33 lithium grease. A vice and punch are also necessary for grip and buffer tube removal/installation. Many of these tools can be found at retailers like Brownells.

How do you install the Hogue G-10 grip on an AR-15?

After removing the upper receiver, place the lower in a vice. Unscrew the old grip, carefully holding the safety detent spring. Position the new G-10 grip, ensuring the spring aligns correctly, then screw it down tightly. Verify the safety function afterward.

What is the recommended torque specification for the AR-15 castle nut when installing a new stock?

When installing the new buffer tube and stock, the castle nut should be tightened to 40 ft-lbs. This ensures a secure fit for the receiver extension and prevents any unwanted movement or looseness of the stock assembly.
