| I want to put a vertical grip on my newly built 16 inch AR but I dont want to remove the gas block to put a nice rail on it. Ive seen Rails that advertise no gunsmithing. What do you guys think about these? what do you think about mounting the vertical grip on one? any oppinions would be highly appreciated. |
your rifle has a built in verticle grip; it's called your magwell. unless you're going to be dumping several magazines in quick succession, a vert. grip is unneccessary weight. your magwell is closer to your body, which makes it easier to hold anyway. but to each his own. it is your rifle. i would save the money for better things, like ammo. if you do a search, i'm certain you will find the answer. good luck.

How did that help at all? To answer the question... there are many two piece designs... KAC M4 RAS, YHM, Troy MRF-C and Surefire to name a few. All I have seen are good quality, some even free-float the barrel. All I have seen will provide ample support for a forward grip, if that is desired. |
the help was me telling him to do a search, as this has been covered. many, many times. if you put several sentances together, they form a paragraph. you should read it all, not just the first few lines. |
my apologies. ill try not to offend you anymore with an erred keystroke.  |

ANYWAY.... back to the subject at hand... i just purchaced a rail and a vert grip and mounted it on my regular foregrip Here is the link but now that i look I dont see any that he is selling Check ebay too, JSE sells them on there too. |
FWIW, I just dropped a YHM 2pc railed forend onto my M4gery and it is super solid. It was an impulse purchase that I thought about for a long time....and eventually went with so the other guys on the block wouldn't pick on me anymore.  VFG's are rather nice because you can locate them wherever it's most comfortable for you. I tried holding the magwell, but that didn't stabilize the rifle like I would have prefered. The biggest problem is choosing a VFG from the many designs out there. I'm very intrigued by the Yankee Hill folding foregrip, but I don't hear anyone talking about them. They are cheaper than some other brands made of poured plastic. Paralysis by analysis...... |
