| I haven't had the chance to put my FUG on the rifle yet but I was just wondering which extension folks use and where they mount it (i.e. closer to the receiver or not). Also, if you use a certain extension, like the stubby one, what advantage does that provide over the long one? |
| I use the stubby. I mount it about 5 slots in from the muzzle end of the handguard. Wrap my index finger around the handguard, middle finger is partially on the handguard and partially on the FUG, ring and little finger wrap around the FUG. Thumb rests along the top of the handguard. X300 on the right side, use my middle finger to activate it. |

Stubby, I hold it the "costa" way, 1 slot from the rear of the rail. stubby for me too, and I had mine in close to the magwell also.... until I tried to do a tac reload (as seen on TV) , and bashed my knuckles on the bottom of the FUG... Since then I've moved it out a bit... YMMV... |

Since you asked, my FUG preference is OD, which I hope is coming out of Leander soon, out as far as possible on a mid-length rail with the long-flanged cap, I like the stability of this config. I'm not busting down doors or jumping out of cars with the AR, so this config works for me. On the other hand, my brother who has busted down doors & jumped out of cars likes it closer to the mag well.
He's indifferent on the color, kinda tells you something, huh?
