Just got a new AR-556 with the OD Green cerakote finish. It has the standard black Ruger grip on it. Anyone been able to find a grip plug that fits this grip? It's a different size from the normal AR/M4 grip. I can always replace the grip, but I like the feel of the stock Ruger grip and would rather not replace it just for a plug.

I have never found a plug that was a decent fit for any AR. Every one of them would pop out at random from time to time, even when they seemed firmly in place. I bought on e-Bay a $10 made-in-China replacement grip that is the equal of any $40 US-made replacement grip and has a sturdy latching trapdoor in the bottom that stays closed absolutely until I want it open. It fits my hand better than a standard grip, and the storage compartment is secure, period.

It turns out that it's not the stock Ruger grip. It's a Hogue rubber overmold, with a ruger emblem on it. I'm ordering the Hogue plug set from them.
