Thanks for your help!! > > Tina > Tina, This sounds like an early model shoulder stock. The grip is integral with the later shoulder stocks (I have early and fairly late models) and adding a grip to the shoulder stock is just not done - there ain't no parts to do it. Talk with KEH and see if they'll swap the shoulder stocks, or I'll swap old-for-newer if you want. Most of the models with the grip also have more adjustments. I have 2 shoulder stocks with the grip - one shows its age shoud be ready for the torture you put 'em through.
