If I recall, the Magpul instructions specifically mention the use of their own screw. I think the MIAD screw and the standard A2 grip screw are slightly different lengths. I can double check the instructions in the morning. Just a heads up.

Double checked instructions and they advised to use the supplied screw and not the stock screw/lockwasher. The supplied screw comes with locking compound applied at the factory.
Same problem I had. It was a tight fit, but when I finally muscled the grip on, it was rock solid. Don't forget the blue lock-tite is dried on the threads so it makes the screw harder to tighten, but well worth it. Just make sure its lined up and try using a really large regular slotted screwdriver with a thick blade. After the struggle getting mine on, its the only grip I would have.
I just installed one of these on a Mega lower, the screw was shorter but the same thread pitch and diameter as the on in my LPK. The threadlock they supply definitely made it fit a little tighter, by not like it would feel if I were making my own threads in the lower. You might not have stripped the threads, but you could have done a little unintentional machining in there, tapping your own threadsI'm very pleased with the fit of the MIAD. I'll put another one on my new build when it starts.
