    Default Delrin Button Tops

    Excuse me if the topic has been covered in the past but I was thinking of ordering a button top for my Grand. Can anyone explain how easy/hard it is to install this to my mod? Thanks in advance for your help and/or advise.

    Sure....it's super easy. You will get a little white tube with your button top. So I would remove the battery from you mod. Then gently place the button cover over the button and press down a little. Then take the little white tube and use it as a spacer, meaning...lay it below the button cover against the side of the button. Then mash down on the button top until it stops ...mine settled with a little click. Then release the button and remove the tube.
    I took a picture of the button top both top and bottom so you see what you're getting. It's really simple.

    really simple, and amazing!..makes firing much more comfortable and just generally classies up a REO..the only downside, at least for me, is that the larger diameter makes it easier to inadvertently spin the button to the off position..not a huge deal, but something to know. If it becomes too bothersome, the little dowel that goes through the button shaft, which allows the button to lock, can be removed.

    Thanks for this! My Reo comes tomorrow and I got the botton top as suggested by others and was wondering how it would install. Now I have something else to do while batteries charge LOL

    Okay...I edited my first post to include a few more photos. Hopefully that will help clarify if my words didn't cover it.

    I find I constantly have to twist mine into the firing position. However I wouldn't want to disable the firing block. I'm wondering if I could stipple the edge of the button so I can rotate the button more easily with my thumb pad as I’m pushing the button down. Texturing would definitely help me out. Brew

    Got mine in today. Snapped it on within seconds. Now I'm singing "dancing on the ceiling".
