Quoted: Quoted: Sweet. I checked their site, but it's not listed. I sent an email asking where i might find it.Quoted: On a side note, anybody remember those MP5K style forward grips that mount on a rail? I know i've seen them, just can't find exactly the kind i'm thinking of at the moment...  Second picture down has the forward grip you seek!! HK grip There is a member here that has been said to make the above style grip. I read about it in the SBR picture threads, I think. Troy has designed a very short standard pistol grip. One could also just take a saw to a regular grip to shorten it. http://troyind.com/%20/new-products/troy-battleaxe-cqb-grip |

Quoted: Saweeeet project!  Why not use the Magpul AFG? It's compact, comfortable, and has a forward hand stop already built in.I've found the AFG to only really work with the "firehose" grip, way out front with your thumb over the top. I tried one on my RFB, and it was, well, awkward... |

Got a response on the MP5K-style Kriss grip.
They don't make them anymore and don't plan to. They were a limited run for the pre-production Kriss...  |

Thats about like the actual MP5K grip and mounts on the barrel. I'm looking for a rail mounted version. This really isn't a big deal, but it'll eventually come up  |

The closest grip that I can find that is similar, integrated hand-stop, to the MP5K grip is this one from FAB Defense.
FGG-S Tactical Folding Foregrip http://www.fab-defense.com/en/category-foregrips/id-5/tactical-folding-foregrip.html Other ideas are VFG's that have light mounts that function as a hand-stops or using a stubby grip, magpul mvg etc., and a handstop, KAC or Midwest Industries etc, as some have suggested. |

"bullet-cooker" is the name of the ARFCOM member that modifies the original version to fit a rail. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=22&t=195288&page=53 It's about 2/3 of the way down in a post by scottMO.

I had a thought for how you can run a trigger. You could put basically a shortened 1911 trigger group into the grip. Instead of having a full length hammer to strike the firing pin, you trim it down so it fits under the barrel, and then run a connecting rod to a full sized hammer behind the BCG. You should be able to do away with a second sear system, and you should be able to find OTS parts that could be modified to suit the purpose. If you are concerned with trying to make FA versions, Star made FA 1911s that you could pattern your system off of.
That and it puts a touch of JMB into the mix

At least it's something resembling progress
Since I've got enough for two lowers, I'm going to rough one out on the manual mill for proof of concept and see if any tweaking needs to be done afterwards, then have the final lower CNC'd here at work in some downtime... The green tube beside the mill has some aluminum barstock in it. Please ignore the mess...  |

Let me preface... I know nothing of milling/machining.
Would it be easier to mill out the insides of the lower accurately for the magazine well, and whatever other relief cuts for action parts and the upper, holes for the trigger and FCG etc. when the polymer block was a solid rectangle? Or when "you know what you're doing" you can just clamp it up and get it indexed properly or whatever the right term is? |

Or when "you know what you're doing" you can just clamp it up and get it indexed properly or whatever the right term is? The top and rear planes still aren't truly defined on the lower and are just roughed out. the top plane will drop a bit, but I haven't quite ironed out the mating geometry to the upper yet. The rear of the stock is an extra 1.5 or so inches long at the moment, didn't want to limit myself on bolt stroke just yet... |

By hand, taking my time obviously Straights and radii aren't hard, but the splines are tedious... I once drew a 4" circle with the X-Y on a Bridgeport on a dare, I was darn good on the Etch-a-Sketch... The REAL fun part is going to be profiling everything down nice and smooth... I'll remove the bulk with the mill and finish up with a finger sander. If this thing works out I'll drop the other chunk of Nylatron on the CNC once I get it running... |
