Okay, I need some opinions regarding vertical fore-grips.
To answer some questions you might have for me (Thanks, Z):
1. What's the purpose of your AR?
- HD
- Farm gun on weekends
2. What's your thoughts on a VFG?
- I think they are mostly superfluous, but whatever, I don't mind it.
- I already possess an angled FG from Magpul, which I do like very much but have plans to move it onto either a mid-length or rifle-length system in the future.
3. What's your current handguard?
- I currently run an AB Arms carbine handguard. It does have a handstop, sort of, as there is an ergonomic mold to it. It's a different iteration of the Magpul MOE handguards.
- The handguard has the Magpul-style rail slot just underneath/behind the FSB. Would this require the RVG or MVG mounting kit?
Also, the cost of the VFG is not a factor, what I really need information on (not to settle anything) are the pros and cons to a standard sized "broomstick" type, or the "stubby" thumb-break style VFG.
Lastly, I'm not interested in what'll make me more tacticool or strike awe-inspiring fear into those who would gaze upon my AR. My primary passion is to shoot well, and my secondary goal is to complement target acquisition/overall gun handling by taking advantage of the various accessories out there. I really need some utility-minded perspective. Like I said, I love the angled FG, but I feel it's put to better use on a middy/rifle. A VFG would seem to be a minimal, but effective add-on for the carbine.
Thanks everyone!
