Fore grip choice?

double d 1 · Feb 19, 2012

went to a gun show and bought a UTG model 15 foldable foregrip for 20 bucks. Put it on and this thing moves an 1/8 of an inch if not a little more each way. Are foregrips supposed to do this? I dont like it. Can anyone recomend a decent foregrip that wont break the bank, less than 50 bucks. thanks for yuore time.

MagPul Angled ForeGrip, AFG2. $35.

+1 on the Magpul AFG (1 or 2).

+2 on the AFG (2 here). Feels really natural once you try it.

However, I also have a vertical grip for close-in shots, so my lower rail has an AFG2 near the business end and the RVG behind that, in front of the mag well.

RVG would be a good choice for a vertical - compact, with a nice oval profile in the hand and also allows use of the thumb-over grip.

The AFG feels quirky and uncomfortable to me,, for me its a complete waist of money cause u can just hold the had guard if that's how u want your hand,,,,, now the RVG is very comfortable in the hand and for me when shooting for double taped groups nothing compares to a VG

Me too. I'm more comfortable holding my covered rails without an AFG.

I now have an AFG2 in my parts box. Whenever I get around to building a railed major caliber AR, I'll try it out again.

That's what makes life so much fun; different strokes for different folks.

Having shot other people's firearms I decided long ago I don't like vertical grips. No-grip is OK (I don't have any on any other rifles) but on the 15-22 the AFG2 feels more comfortable for my style of shooting.

After many foregrips and positions, I have decided I don't like any of them. My preferred method is now a handstop positioned on the 9 o'clock rail. I position my support hand so that the webbing between my thumb and index finger is pushed against it, and I find I have a lot of control and it is extremely comfortable.

I bought the magpul afg2. It dosent fit tight on my 15-22 either it "wiggles" forward and back a little.

Then you haven't tightened it up properly.

I bought a dirt cheap generic one from amazon it lacks spit and polish but fits my hand great and doesnt budge any.

+1 for Magpul RVG and Grip pod. Had the AFG 1 and sold it for a profit

Awesome grip but wasn't right for me.

You were right. When I first put it on I only had a small srewdriver and didnt want to strip anything out.

I dug out a large flat-tip and tightend the screw more and now it dosent move at all

Question... Magpul AFG1 or AFG2 which to buy.

The original has been discontinued. The only one MagPul offers now is the AFG2.

Any foregrip i have attached to the 22 has had a little wobble. To solve the problem i just ran 2 pieces of electrical tape, one on top of the other right over the rails where you want the forgrip to sit. It jams it in place a little and is a little harder to take on and off but i figure beggers cant be choosers. I also have an AFG2 on mine and love it. I use the short utg quik release on my bushmaster and love that also. choices choices....

I had the AFG2 and it was really tight on my 15-22 btw.
But i replaced it with a RVG. I still hold the gun with a afg-kinda grip, but it fits my hand a lot better.

Fore grip choice?
