Yes, and they can be quite painful if the shooter isn't wearing a glove.

ITs for a ultralightweight 22 build. Looks like that was an olympic arms OA-98, they came with that grip. But now i think its alloy, im looking for aplastic one. Might just have to mill it |

OP if you are going to ultra lightweight why not standard A2 grip or MOE type grip without the insert. |

DPMS maybe? To get their pistol under "assault weapon" weight?
ETA Derp, should have read first. It was probably Olympic Arms that I was thinking of. |

You could machine out slots in the polymer grip, but it is going to save you an ounce at most.
Aluminum is about 3 times denser than the polymer typically used in an AR grip, so even machining away slots it is going to end up being heavier overall than just a stock polymer grip. Another option if you REALLY want to save grip weight is take a standard A1 or A2 grip and prune part of the bottom off like they did on the XM607 and XM608 models. |

Wow, all of that just looks painful! I agree!!! That guy did a terrible job, if you milled the magwell or took off a little meet you could get by, but please take the time to do it right so it doesn't look like a whack job |

Has anyone ever milled a A1 or A2 grip with some lightening holes or manufactured one? Sort of like this, but on a Ar grip not a foregrip http://www.ar15news.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Viking-Tactics-UVG-and-UVG-45.jpg Im building a superlight build and thought this would be a nice touch Why didn't they just picatinny those things so I could decorate them with FDE rail covers? That would be WAY cooler. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes, and they can be quite painful if the shooter isn't wearing a glove. Steve/RRA You beat me to it. Laying a black rifle in the hot-sun makes it hotter than hell, the only thing cool on it is the plastic grip and for-end rail covers. |
