Re: Modern Combat grip in Europe?

I don't own warthog but i can tell you about gunfighter. Gimball base is all metal giving fantastic feel.

Re: Warthog Adaptor, cams, springs and some questions

You use extension and warthog grip which is heavy so i guess default "soft cams" and default "30" springs are weak.
Even without extension and heavy grip it wont center it perfect with soft springs and cams.
Try with #30 cams(cams with detent) and 40 or 50 springs

Note to others trying the same;
Use some some kind of tape to close holes to prevent sealant to came in touch with electrical components and to stay in desired area and shape.

Re: Modding kg12 grip for the left hand!

Couldn't hold my horses!
I used some aircraft parts to mod it (immersion) and PRC (rubber sealant) we use on our amphibious planes to cover hole on the left side and to hide bolts and nuts on right side.
