[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Knights armament VFG not fitting on rail

Posted: 4/9/2014 2:15:40 PM EDT

Hello everyone! First post here.

I just received a Knights armament vertical foregrip, ordered directly from their website.

I have a midwest industries drop-in rail instead of the knights rail, because its far to expensive for what it is.

The foregrip is wayyyyyy too tight to even begin to slide it down the rail, anyone have any similar problems? Is this meant for the KAC rail only?
Is the railsystem I have a POS?

Thanks

Slightly out of spec rail would be my guess.

I agree, it could be a slightly out of spec rails.

I've got a KAC and TangoDown VFG and they fit different on different brands of rails, on my KAC M4 RAS, Daniel Defense EZ CAR 7.0 carbine rail and LaRue free floating 9.0 they both fit fine.

Except on my Samson 12" FF rail both are very snug, they fit but it takes me a long time to move them in my desired position, YMMV.

If you could try your VFG on another brand rail system, try it on your buddies, gun shop or gun shows, etc.

Thanks guys, I've actually got a used KAC M5 RAS coming my way, I'm sure it will fit on that.

If possible can you email me the details of your hand guard.
I am curious as to which one you have, and if it is indeed out of spec I would like to replace it for you.

Please send me an email at [email protected] .

Thank You

Had the same issues with mine not fitting onto a Centurion Arms C4 Rail.

Slid on a YHM and a Troy, no problem.
