We have mounted a lot of AR15 grips on the frames over the years. Getting it on is not a problem. Keeping it stable while carrying it from the grip is where the problem comes in.
If you mill a slot on top of the grip for the frame to sit in it will be stable for awhile but the plastic will deform over time and get loose.
Sorry, I been away for a while. The grip has been working fine for me. I did mill a slight slot for the frame to fit in the grip. It hasnt loosened up at all and if it did I would just tighten the grip screw. Its been on for a while and I dont think its going anywhere unless I only hold it by the grip while shooting wildly in the air like the taliban 😀

I indexed my FoxBat grip with the screw through the backside of the frame rail. By adding the extra screw there, it provided a double stud setup of sorts, together with the main bolt in from the bottom of the grip and keeps it quite strong and straight with the frame.
I dressed mine up alittle with the cover I made from stainless, which also helps stiffen the end of the frame there. The screw and the cover added to the end of the frame, makes it quite unitized and very strong… I tried it at first just through the top of the frame, but it would have spread out the frame rails there without the cover plate I made…
I took an aluminum epoxy and filled my grip first, with a aluminum plate cut out to the profile of the top of the grip and bedded it in with the epoxy.
Allowed to cure. I also counter sunk a couple of screws straight into the aluminum plate bedded in the epoxy to make sure the plate wouldn’t tear loose from the epoxied grip… Then drill and tap threads for the second screw I added with this end of frame cover plate I made.
Didn’t spend much time on this, like I should have, that would have helped the looks of the fit and finish of my grip, which really doesn’t bother me, I am more about function and toughness… If things don’t work well or appears that it won’t hold up on something I have, I either fix that or toss it and start over LOL…
I do like the looks of your grip you added to your rifle. Just not into that OEM grip AF stuck on these rifles at all LOL…
Not that I could afford such a brash purchase right now, but what name does that grip go by?
How do you keep it from twisting?

I’ve got that grip on the way along with the target floor plate that fits up to it. Gonna put it on my Talon P when I get my Wok bits to mate it up.
What Dremel disk did you use to cut that little triangle bit off? Mine digs too.
I have that grip and love it. Mine sets back a little more though, and I cut the thumbguard off before I fitted it… D-OH!!!!!
Very Nice!
I got Wok’s trigger guard, AR grip part with a hogue grip going. It’s I think the best looking part on my gun, makes everything more solid.
My hands are a bit large for the hogue though, and that triangular bit (the very one missing from your gun) digs into my hand a bit.
Did you just grind it off with your Dremel?

I just used the high speed cut off dremel disk and then used some epoxy paint to touch up. Looks good and doesnt dig into my hand anymore..
