Vert. Grip on Two-Piece Handguards?

[Deersniper]

I have a question about vertical grips. I tried to put a vertical grip on my rifle which has just factory M4 handguards and it seems too flemsy. I recently got newer, sturdier 4 railed handguards and the vertical grip still seems to try to separate the two peices when I grab the rifle. Will this cause a problem such as breaking the handguards or is it just me? Does anyone else have a vertical grip mounted on something other than free-floated handguards? Have you had this problem?

What type of railed handguards are you using? That info would probably be helpful.

As you found out it's best to use a free float for a VFG. If you bought one of the two piece aluminum quad rails, I'd chuck it and get the real thing.

+1 on Midwest Ind. 2-piece qaudrail. Have had mine for a year and am very happy with them. They have Tmarks and are also reasonably priced http://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/ar_2_piece_forearm.htm . There's also http://www.laruetactical.com/market...age,loadProduct)&productID=1872&scrollTop=261 if you have the money. If your hand guards are moving when using you VFG then its probably the hand guards. I would try to return them and upgrade if it's that big of a problem.

I put these on my 50 Beowulf. Haven’t had a problem. -

I just recently added a bottom rail and vertical grip...and haven't had a problem.

I'd read a lot about people's likes and dislikes with the foregrip and wanted to see for myself. I had been given the Beretta (which I've seen the same design sold without the Beretta logo) one and didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on a rail only to find out I didn't like the setup. The $10 rail I bought mounted just fine and I haven't had any problems with stability of the rail, grip or the handguards.
