I'm guessing probably discussed before, but anyone using one of these? I just installed on my RRA. Like the look and feels great. Have not had it out for a test yet.

Quoted:
I have been using the AFG on my SBR. People seem to love them or hate them. They are designed to use the thumb break support hand position. I wasn't happy with it at first, now all my CQ type rifles have them. YMMV OK, guilty of chuggin' the kool aide! I am in the not happy stage right now, but I do believe in time I will start to like it. 77 |

It ain't for everyone. I don't think anyone should "grow" to like it. You should find something you are naturally comfortable with instead of using the hottest new toy that all the mall ninjas love. If it fits you...keep it. If not....keep it moving and find what does. I love my AFG....but if I had to do some more sustained firing.....I'd want something I can drop back to from the heat. |
I like it because it suits my shooting style. However, it does not work for all shooting styles, so it's not for everyone. I need at least a 9" rail to it far our enough on the rail to be comfortable. I would not use it on a 7" rail like the OP––way to far back to be comfortable. |

Love both of mine, but only on rifle length handguards. I run 12" rails on all my carbines. I've tried the AFG on the shorter carbine rails and I feel cramped and "in between". If my hands are that close, I'd rather use a VFG or magwell grip. I even ran a AFG and a VFG next to the magwell for a while testing the AFG out. I also find the AFG stabilizes a heavier muzzle vs a VFG. My 11.5" suppressed with rifle length rails moves perfect while without the suppressor, I use the magwel grip. My .02.

had one, liked it a little, changed my shooting style a little bit because i did notice better follow ups with the thumb brake method. i have since given it to a friend, went back to my KAC grip but i moved it forward on the rail and use the thumb brake method with it, and for me personally that is more comfortable. the afg put my hand at an awkward angle, whereas i can determine the angle myself with the KAC vfg.
if i don't quit watching these magpul videos i'm gonna get confused. |
