If I was willing to give up the use of the pull out rail, do you think it would be possible to install a rail on the bottom of my storm by screwing it on?
I would like a bottom rail, but I do not want one of the tri-rails that attaches at the sides.
Does anyone know if that would work?
Thanks!

The bottom of the foregrip is not level enough - you'd have to take material off for that to work.

IMO you'd be better of manufacturing something like the factory tri-rail without the side rails if that's what you want - it's also possible that you do not need to have the side rails mounted in the tri-rail package, but since I don't have one (I run with the top and one side rail only), I can't tell you for sure.

what do you mean by not level enough? too much curvature around or do you mean becasue it angles up towards the muzzle?
I intend to put a magpul afg on it.
thanks.

What's wrong with the tri-rail?

I have seen the rail hot glued on and attached and it's a very secure mount.  Normally the tri rail has a noticable amount of flex.

You can install the tri-rail without the side rails but it's not nearly long enough for an AFG. They take up an entire 7" carbine rail so I don't  see how it would ever work on the Storm.

this is why I want to just drill and attach a rail to the bottom.
Also I really don't want the plastic wrap around part that comes with the tri-rail.

Go to berettaforum.net and scroll thru the CX4 pics.  There is someone who had something like a 6" rail added to the bottom of their CX4.  You'll see several CX4s that are ridiculously customized.  And very well I might add.  It inspired "chopped" bunny ears and a camo paint job of mine.  eventually SBR :)

There is a SIG 550/556 rail made by B&T that is angled––might work, but quite expensive.
