Default Magpul grip gap

So I was looking at the gap between the lower receiver and the Magpul grip that came on my S&W M&P AR-22..
Has any one heated it up with a heat gun and tried to bend it up a little to close the gap ..Is it made of kydex I would think it would bend easy but would like to know what others think..

It's not kydex. It's a high density and temp polymer. You probably won't have much luck trying to form it. You have to remember that the magpul stuff is meant for AR's. The 15-22 is a AR pattern rifle, not an AR. Therefore, there will be slight fitment issues. It's like that on mine as well. If you are that OCD, buy another grip that fits how you want.

You can buy a wedge that fills the gap, cost about $3 if you are that worried by the gap
