Has anyone used Line-X or other bed/non slip coating on a A2/A1 Grip as a grip enhancer?
I am looking at quart size or smaller quantity cans here and avalible at Home Depot or a Auto Store. UPDATE: Spent 30 minutes with an old soldering iron and this is the result. As close to a VTAC'ish Kyle Lamb'ish Grip that I could do for almost nothing. 
So far I like it. I need to get out and shoot it again but so far feels fine. Its pretty aggressive texture, I knocked off some plastic Irish pennants with some 220 grit and re installed it. If this feels good shooting I will probably do it to a few other AR's I have. |

I have sprayed the lower 1/2 of a few magazines with rubberized under coating. Actually works very well. So I can see how bedliner would work also.

It peels unless you really sand or wire-wheel the grip first. After sanding/abrading the grip there really isn't a need to add bedliner.

How about a section of bicycle inner tube ?

I guess I could use a soldering iron or wood burner. |

Sounds kinda funny, but skateboard tape works extremely well on smoother surfaces. I usually put a little on the front of an issued pistol or on the lower-front of mags.
It might work on the lower-front of an A2 pistol grip as well. |

For hulk grip, use devcon or something similar and a popsicle stick to spike it.
Be sure to hit it with a file for your delicate Air Force hands.

Have you considered stippling?

Stippling is what I think I will end up doing, I have only stippled small items like my Safariland holster bail thumb shelf in the past so this will a bit more time consuming but probably worth it. Its low/no cost since I have a soldering iron.
On my SBR I already shaved the A2 down to get rid of the finger rest and the bottom lip. I have 3M grip tape on it now and its comfortable and my hand doesn't move around, however having used grip tape on other items in the past eventually it comes off or bubbles up etc. Hence the reason I was looking at the coatings to enhance my grip but keep the finger groove aspect out of it and not have to pay for a grip I may not like. I like the angle of the standard A2 so maybe I am weird. |

Seriously, though, if stipling doesn't work for you, try my method, I do it on my Manners stocks.

Devcon is an acrylic of some type? Yeah, I am putting in my bathroom, but I will post later. It is steel putty (they have aluminum and titanium putty too), and I use it to bed my actions. Cheaper would be bondo and JB Weld, we can I have used with great success as well. |

 Here is a Bell & Carlson stock I did for a buddy of mine with devcon. You tape off the areas you want to contain it, apply it after sanding (to give it a surface to grip), then "spank" it with a popsicle stick to bring spikes up. Let it dry, then hit the sharp spikes with a file so you don't bleed when shooting.  |

Looks aggressive. This may be an option.

I say try some hockey stick tape instead.
I purchase tools and equipment for my Fire Dept. Before I send any hand tool out I wrap the handle in some really tacky hockey stick tape. It's pretty awesome. |

No, you file all of the points down, and can make it as aggressive or mild as you want with a little different technique and a file.
