I`m not liking my Pachmeyer Vindicator grip for the AR anymore, ditto on the Hogue freefloated tube.

I was wondering where ya been.
How come you don't like the Hogue free-floating forend?
(I need an excuse to add an item to my "useless items" box and get a new toy...)

Been hanging at TGN`s AK47forums.net and AK47.net. Other forums here.
Nice to be remembered though[:)]
Hogue`s tube is good.
It needs a sling attachment so you dont use the barrell for torquing down on the sling.
easily added
After 60 rounds at a fairly quick pace, the tube heats up very hot, too hot.
open front end and many holes in the rear do not help dissapate heat. Some of the DCM legal freefloat tubes have heat shields in them and the sling problem addressed.

Imbroglio_ I say it`s junk from an end user point of view not if it fits on said rifle.
I dont have time to go into specifics right now but it looks like your mag would not drop free if the lever is pressed, like my SLR95. and since you need to use the support hand to get the empty out any way then the meaty part of the thumb is readily positioned for working the lever, not the edge/tip of your index pushed forward.
Not to mention that long pos hanging down ready to snag on equipment, weeds, (ever been around camo netting?)m and wings too??????
Of course the Bumpin crowd would be shyte outa luck. Better have a good grip while F/A too.
Gloves????????????????better have lots of replacement mags.
Imbro I could go on but I feel like you never answer a direct question with a direct answer. Nothing personal.
