    Default Daniel defense customer service?

    How good is it? I just got a v3, and went to change the pistol grip out... It took ALL my strength to get the screw to come loose. Even after I got it started it litteraly took everything i had to get it unscrewed. Went to put the new grip on with a new screw and had an even harder time trying to get it to screw in, so I took the new grip off, and put the old one back on, and couldn't even get the screw in more than half way, and now the flat head screw is pretty much stripped. Obviously it was cross threaded or something when try assembled it. Do you think they will replace the lower even though I "worked" on it? It's obviously nothing I did. I already filled out the warranty form and am just waiting on the shipping label.

    chase the threads to remove any loc tite they may have used. shit can the flat head screw and buy a socket head / cap screw. it's a simple fix that takes less time than it did to fill out the card.

    While I agree any DDM4 should be perfect from the factory, I'm with Jim. Can you see the threads clearly without a grip on? They shouldn't be that screwed up.

    You'll be better off doing it your self. Get a quality screw and use a little loc-tite blue.

    Cut the plastic grip off. It wont survive, but you will be able to put some vice grips on the screw and back it out after you hit it with some heat and penetrating oil.

    I know. However while they have good CSR, last thing you want is for them to say SO,L you should have called once there was an issue.
