Forearm Liner & Stock Cap Assembly kicks up in the Hogue stock.
My forearm liner wouldn't stay latched in my Hogue either. So I did this easy little mod. It is simple to do.
1. I latched liner in place, and drilled a straight 3/32 dia pilot hole, 3/8" deep thru the liner, and the first ridge on the stock, (most aft) between the upright guide posts.
2. Then opened the hole thru the forearm liner ONLY to 9/64" and countersink for a #6-flush head screw.
3. Latch liner back into place, and installed a flush head #6 screw wood screw 3'8" long. Its now solid as a rock, but if I want to remove it just take out the screw.
Note: In this location it would interfere with the slide rod so used the flush screw. I would advise you to make a drill stop using masking tape around the drill so you won't accidentally drill thru the stock. It works for me.
