I am having a stripped grip screw hole problem as well. The screws are badly bruised, and they sit loosely in the whole. While assembled, there are about 2mm gap between the mid frame and grip near the beaver tail area.

I don't see any thread at all for the grip hole on the mid frame.

I have purchased some ss #8-32 screw and they seem to fit in and solve the gap problem. The issue is that they are too long. I am going to cut them, and see if they solve the problem.

My question is:
1. What material is the stock TM 4.3 mid frame?
2. Did anyone try tap new thread on the grip hole, and use a bigger screw on them?
