I want to keep my AR in a KISS configuration with the exception a fore grip. I have the factory handguard on my CAR length Bushmaster. Are there weaver style rails that would attach to the handguard to mount a fore grip? I dont want to spend over 100$ on a new handguard if I dont have to. If there is such a thing where should I start looking?

Cheaper yet. I have used this and it works fine.

This is what I have:

CDNN Vert Grip w/Rail

If I didn't need it to mount my light I probably would just use a magwell hold.

For those who have these bolt on rails, how much movement do you notice.  I am referring to the fact that the handguard is not completely solid and has a little movement in it-how much does that translate to the forward grip.  I love the idea since I know I don't need a full rail system but the potential for movement has kept me from trying it.

Seeing the prices of these rails and vertical grips gets me a bit fired up.  It was only about two years ago that I paid about $75-$85 for the same set-up.

There will be some looseness, depending on how much lateral force you put on the VFG.  It's nowhere near as tight as a rail system.
