Just got my MIAD delivered (finally), and although I ordered the basic kit, they sent me the full kit at no additional charge with a note saying that Magpul has discontinued the basic kit.  Anyway, I have 2 other MIADs with the F2/B3 configuration.  Now that i have the full kit, I am curious as to who prefers the F3 over the F2.  I guess it just moves the finger groove up , but I can't figure out why you would want that?

small hands, big hands?
chubby hands, skinny hands?

I have a very old pre-production 2005 MIAD grip and once I tried the F3 front strap with the finger groove I didn't like the location of the finger groove when I switch shooting to my support side.

I prefer the no finger groove F1 front strap for tactical type shooting but the F2 finger groove front strap are fine for target and hunting in my opinion.

I believe the F3 is only for MIAD conversion to a VFG.

I think I found a discrepancy in Magpul's documentation, they shown the F3 front strap with the built in trigger guard in this product manual.

Then Magpul shown the F4 front strap with the built in trigger guard and the F3 front strap for the vertical fore-grip.

I would agree that the F3 is the front strap for the VFG.

Gotcha,  I have the latest print of the MIAD Manual.  I think the OP was describing the new F3 VFG front strap.

Yeah, I didn't realize that the F3 was for a vertical grip, makes sense now.
