Does anyone make some kind of A2 grip to rail adapter? That's cheaper than a cheap VFG? That might be something...

Cut 'em down.
Grind on 'em. Cover them in heat shrink. Dip them in liquid rubber. Add moldable epoxy to 'em. Practice your machining skills. The possibilities are endless. Just don't throw them away... This is the build-it-yourself forum right? Why not actually make something you might otherwise buy or even something that isn't currently made to your taste. I made a stubby, stippled grip that is lighter than anything I can buy from any of the vendors on here starting with a 'lowly' A2 PG. Don't want 'em send them to me.

Send them my way. I like the A2 grip. Have tried some,others and don't really see spending the money. I guess to each his own.
I do like the Magpul grips but for now all my builds will have A2s. |

Either save them for if you decide to sell some guns off since you rarely get any extra money from the "add ons" or you can try to trade them off to a small local dealer for a credit on something else.

i will take any that people dont want
I have A2's on almost all my rifles and am building a few more that need grips sometimes i will file off the finger bump and they fit my hands just fine. I am also planning on making a retro style air force survival rifle with a cut down grip and cant see myself doing it to an A1 style |

I saw one that was modified to look like an A1 grip, not an exact but close enough.
I plan on cutting off the center finger bump with a band saw, dress it up with a small grinder, smooth it out sanded area with a hand torch (it will smooth out with the heat), drill some dimples in the bottom. That way I can use my A1 grips on the A1 carbines and rifles and use these on the ones I build out of misc. parts. |

I went thru 5 different grips from BCM to MagPul and came back to the A2. I was A2 when A2 wasn't cool.
