Wondering if you guys have a suggested fix for the following;
I (stupidly) stripped the threads in the Grip Hole for the large head screw located at the bottom of the grip (KP89). Did this only on one side (I'm not that stupid). My temorary fix for now was to put on a Hogue Stretch rubber grip sleeve over the grip which now traps the screw. Any suggestions (other then sending back to Ruger) on how to repair the threads? If I Tap to a different size, then I need a corresponding Screw to match the head size in the stock screw (fit the grip). I was thinking about filling the hole with JB Weld followed by re-drill and tap (original size thread). Again, stupid mistake on my part, but I need to fix it. Thank you. ....... Merry Christmas ......... Rich G.
