MPA Enhanced Verticle Grip fits Cadex....... just be careful.

[Grog11]

As the title suggests, I modified the MPA handle for the Cadex by sanding the JUNK out of it. Only, I went too far. So, there is a collar at the top of the grip (referring to the hand part, not the finger part), that pertrudes and keeps it from fitting, so you have to remove it. And, if you look down from the top, you’ll see a little flat shelf that may look like it’s the height that would be required for chassis other than the MPA. It’s not. Please note that you’ll need to leave a little lip there still, and you can see about how much judging by the gap in my handiwork. For my next trick, I’ll be building it back up with some epoxy.

You could always use Sugru instead of epoxy. Much easier to work with and easier to build up

Thanks for the tip! A quick google search says it sets to a rubber-like texture (still bendable). Is that your experience? I’m going for something rigid so as to support any accidental torque applied to the handle (I don’t plan on regularly apply any large pressure to the grip).

Yeah, it sets like a hard silicon/smooth rubber. Goes on like play-doh, cures overnight. I used it for this exact purpose(MPA Vertical grip on an MDT chassis), works great.

Went to Walmart and none there, so I’ll try the Home Depot. Do you need a release agent for the chassis side?

 

[Lonestar1027]

I just bought mine on Amazon. I didn't use any release agent(I wanted it to stick to both the grip and the chassis) but you can always cut it off with a sharp blade if you don't like it.

What MDT chassis did you modify your MPA grip for? Ive got an ESS chassis on the way and have been considering ordering a couple MPA grips, one to mod for the ESS and one for my MPA chassis (before it came standard)

It's the chassis that comes on a Savage Stealth, a slightly modified LSS. I love the MPA grip, I use it on 3 of my rifles right now.

I made a similar mistake with my MPA grip. I emailed MPA just now to see if they have plans to release a grip that doesn't require modifications for non-MPA chassis's. I'm using an Anarchy Outdoors vertical grip now, but I'd like to use the MPA on another rifle and I don't want to modify anything.
