[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Sneek Peek- Magpul Modular Grip Concept -Update Page 14 (Page 1 of 15)

We have the first gen version of this Grip on display at the Shot Show (Feb 2004). Since then we refined the shape and design, filed for patents and are ready to proceed with building the molds.

Before I drop the switch on this I would like to get everyones input. Maybe there is something obvious we missed. Different backstrap styles?

Also some of the special cores that can be placed internally to house either 2x 123 batteries, 2x AA batteries or a complete bolt and firing pin.

Here are some pics of the prototypes we made to test fit and function.

How about an improved trigger guard with the standard-style finger grove?

Posted: 6/29/2004 3:47:36 PM EDT

[#2]

Sweet!

Do you have a rough idea of how much it will cost?

Posted: 6/29/2004 3:51:15 PM EDT

Now this is what I've been waiting for.

Damn, Magpul preparing to empty my wallet once again.

Wow, that looks great. I'm very happy with my TD BG, but this one seems to up the bar even higher ( just like your stock has IMO ).

I'll second that request.

I've been waiting for this since the SHOT show Rich!!!

Looks great to me!

Posted: 6/29/2004 4:11:43 PM EDT

[#8]

Excellent, Rich. Nice work indeed.

Many have been waiting for these.

Posted: 6/29/2004 4:22:31 PM EDT

[#9]

Sweet jesus where can I get one?!

Posted: 6/29/2004 4:26:59 PM EDT

[#10]

not to change the subject but how long until the differnet mod's for the magpul stocks will be availble? I wanna carry 123 batteries with me in my weapon...

Posted: 6/29/2004 4:31:57 PM EDT

[#11]

looks good , rich - nice job! what's the width on it?
cheers,
MM

[#12]

Oh how you tease!!

I'm just about to purchase a new grip. How long you gonna make me wait for this one?

<<drool...>>

Posted: 6/29/2004 4:50:13 PM EDT

[#13]

hmmm interesting

is it gona come with all that stuff or will you have to order the different back/frontstraps separately?

Posted: 6/29/2004 4:53:45 PM EDT

[#14]

Thanks for letting us preview this! Have you decided on an MSRP yet? When will they be available?

Posted: 6/29/2004 4:54:46 PM EDT

[#15]

I'll buy a few

Very nice, gives it an HK like look, I like the A2 grip, have tried others and put them aside, these look like winners.

Posted: 6/29/2004 4:56:59 PM EDT

[#16]

There goes more of my money...

Posted: 6/29/2004 4:57:01 PM EDT

[#17]

Nice. I'm interested.

A textured surface would be a plus for me. Since different colors seem to be popular, tan and OD models would probably be good sellers.

So the obvious questions: how much and how soon?

Posted: 6/29/2004 4:58:36 PM EDT

[#18]

Nothing looks disfuntional or potentially uncomfortable. How does the tailcap lock in? Is it easy to remove but not drop out with recoil? Well of course you've thought of that, but to what degree of force is necessary?

Posted: 6/29/2004 5:07:06 PM EDT

[#19]

I'd like to see a lefty attachment that replicates the Sierra Precision grip.

Posted: 6/29/2004 5:14:06 PM EDT

[#20]

I second a textured version. Maybe somewhat similar to the texture of the TangoDown Battlegrips.

Also, is it just the camera flash that is giving those a bluish-tint?

Posted: 6/29/2004 5:15:14 PM EDT

[#21]

Just don't make one that looks like a revolver grip

Posted: 6/29/2004 5:16:20 PM EDT

[#22]

Very Very Nice!!

I second the vote for texturing and OD and Coyote colors.

Posted: 6/29/2004 5:26:57 PM EDT

[#23]

mmmm, yummy.

Posted: 6/29/2004 5:30:30 PM EDT

[#24]

This is what I am F'n talking about! I definately want to be a beta tester on this one. The 'beaver-tail' with the arched back is what I really like. Make sure this grip is ambidextrous, please!

Rich, all that is needed now is to get the M93 butt-pad project cranked-up. It is time.......

Posted: 6/29/2004 5:30:39 PM EDT

[#25]

I love it! Only suggestion from me would be an option for finger grips on the front ,kind of like the Fobus grip! Very awsome, ant ETA on availability?

Posted: 6/29/2004 5:38:28 PM EDT

[#26]

I LIKE IT!!!!!

This is gonna be big...

Posted: 6/29/2004 5:50:18 PM EDT

[#27]

Sierra SPR + TD Battlegrip + modular pieces for customization. Looks like this grip will be a winner!

I can't see the photo well enough to tell, but a small front protrusion like on the Duckbill or TD Battlegrip to cover the little back area of the trigger guard (i.e. "Gapper" thing).

Make this in green that matches your MSS M93A, and I'll (finally) buy my first Magpul products.

How about some checkering or high friction texture on the front strap like those custom 1911s? How about a bit of rubber along the back curved area for the web of the thumb? Does the big trigger guard fold down?

Posted: 6/29/2004 5:57:28 PM EDT

[#29]

Whoa! Do I see a beta test coming?
Please?

Posted: 6/29/2004 6:01:48 PM EDT

[#30]

awesome! i would also like to see a front strap similar to the G27

Yeah man, put me on that list! Looks to be some kick-ass gear.

This looks very promising. I have very long fingers and have a bitch of a time getting my finger positioned for a proper trigger pull. I hope the beavertail is thicker than the Ergo or Fobus - something that will allow us guys with big hands use the pad of our trigger finger comfortably instead of having to become finger contortionists.

It would also be nice to have a finger-groove option.

Rich-

Nice work on the followers. NewARGuy and I were just asking about theese over in the industry forum.
Nice to see we'ree closer.
2nd vote for the "enhanced" trigger guard w/ finger swell.
How Much How soon????

Thanks, and get back to work...

Only problem I see is being able to to try out the different configurations to see which combination suits each individual.

I'd like to see this also!!

Posted: 6/29/2004 6:36:27 PM EDT

[#36]

How about the ached back w/o beavertail for the shotgun mods?

Posted: 6/29/2004 6:40:36 PM EDT

[#37]

oh now this is sweet!
If you need beta testers I'll head over to boulder with some rifles anytime you want!

Posted: 6/29/2004 7:13:21 PM EDT

[#38]

I'd like to see along with the standard grip, an arched with no beaver tail, and no finger groves, just HEAVY texturing on the front strap and palm areas - excellent concept. Make sure the compartment is water tight (I'm sure you have that covered already). The trigger guard looks promising too.

edited to add ?s
When is expected production? Not test units actual production.
What is the expected pricing (just an estimate I know you really need to wait until it's all settled)

Thanks

I vote for an Ambidextrious grip with beavertail. as I am a lefty.

Have the M93A stocks, might as well have the grips to go along with them.

Lookin' good Rich!

Posted: 6/29/2004 7:47:09 PM EDT

[#40]

The idea is great and those units are beautiful!! Put me down for one.

Posted: 6/29/2004 7:51:13 PM EDT

[#41]

Any price estimates?

Posted: 6/29/2004 7:53:31 PM EDT

[#42]

Quit teasing!!! Just get the darn things put together so I can order some with the arched back and beavertail in black and coyote brown...and the bolt insert.

Posted: 6/29/2004 7:57:07 PM EDT

[#43]

Looks pretty cool, I like the trigger guard. Will the final product be smooth or textured? Something like this in an ergo style would be cool, although it may be too big then.
Mike

[#44]

just say the word and charge the card!!! The proto type has no texture to it but the conceptual drawing on top does. I myself would like to see the textured style.

Posted: 6/29/2004 9:29:25 PM EDT

[#45]

Just when I thought I had everything necessary for Sep. 14. This looks truly great.

On a side note. Is there a possibility for your Ranger Plates to have small rubber nubs on the side (one in the center on the left and two on the sides on the right). I like these and I would like my mags to have a slight spacing in between them to eliminate rattle while in the pouches. I figure this would be the easiest way to do it at least at the bottom of the mags. Just a thought.

yes it's like the grips on my HKs and that is a good thing. they look very simple yet comfortable. I'm sold!

Posted: 6/29/2004 9:32:08 PM EDT

[#47]

Please please please please please make it feel rubbery like the Hogue grip.

Posted: 6/30/2004 3:52:43 AM EDT

[#48]

I want one!!! Please?

Posted: 6/30/2004 4:23:34 AM EDT

[#49]

how does the trigger guard work in the down position, do you have a pic of that?

Posted: 6/30/2004 4:24:17 AM EDT

[#50]

That looks great, but if it's high buck........won't be on my gun. All I'm saying is can you try keep the price under $50.....
