I am pissed, I was working with my SCAR and while using it the grip stripped off the trigger module. I noticed the grip was really loose and when I pulled on the grip the screw and grip pulled right out. I wasn't doing anything aggressive with the gun, just regular use.
I run the Geissele Super Scar trigger with the supplied shorter screw which only makes contact with about 2/3 of the trigger module threads, only other mods are PMM sling mounts and an engraved upper, I am still using the factory A2 grip.
So now I have a stripped lower that cannot support a grip(i.e. useless)...So I can only think of a couple things:
1. Take the factory screw and grind it flush with the lower so it can grab the remaining threads without interring with the trigger
2. Remove the Geissele trigger and put the factory trigger back in with the original screw(Not what I want to do)
3. Get a slightly larger screw and drill and retap the trigger module
4. Buy a new OEM trigger module (Have had one on backorder with FN for about 8 months, only interested in OEM)
Should I reach out to Geissele or FN about this? I think FN will absolutely tell me to pound sand since I "modified" the gun and I dont know if Geissele will be willing to help or not.
Anybody else ran into this BS?

EDIT TO ADD: Thanks to the guy's who pointed out to me that I did NOT put the square nut back in the trigger slot as Tal posted photo of, this was my mistake, not anyone elses...
