Angled foregrip opinions


Handsome Rob

Recommended Posts

In theory the angled grip appealed to me because I really like the feel of using  standard foregrip with my hand partially on the grip and partially on the hand guard.  I put the angled  grip on and hated it from the start.  In reality it made the rifle feel top heavy and hard to control, I took it right back off. 

You may love it though lol

I hated the Magpul AFG, pretty sure it is still in my parts box. I ended up with a vertical grip on two ARs (Magpul VFG and BCM short VFG).

When I was outfitting my CZ Scorpion I tried a Strike Industries Link angled grip and it stayed. The grip area is larger and is comfortable for me to use. 

I don't think either style has helped accuracy but both are comfortable for my shooting positions.

I too hated the AFG from Magpul. Its laying around in a parts box somewhere, I dont think it made it through one mag of ammo before I took it off. 

I do like the BCM KAG quite a bit, and have run it on multiple pistols, but on my rifle(s) I have the BCM vertical grip Mod-3 and its been that way for several years now.

Y'all that have them fitted on your ARs....does it make a difference in either comfort or accuracy? Which did you choose & why?

I'm kinda on the fence about installing one on mine & I don't wanna go tossing money around, all willy-nilly like.....

I have one on a carbine length AR.  I don't like it.  I'll go back to a stubby VFG or nothing at all once I update that rifle with a more modern, lighter handguard than the 15" quad-rail on it currently.

I have 3 KAG's. My favorite.

Not a fan of the AFG at all. I either gave mine away, or it's buried in a box somewhere.

I've got an AFG on an AR pistol. It's suitable.

Standard round stick type foregrip on one of my rifles, Really like that one.

AFG on a pistol is a no-go with the ATF unless the overall length is over 26 inches, or it's already registered as an NFA item and you paid the government their pound of flesh for a stamp.

... EDIT ...

Seems I was mistaken.  F the NFA.  :)

I only find the angled foregrip useful when I'm reaching out down the length of a rail.  For that, I have it on one of my ARs with a 13" quad rail.  It's more for a comfortable rest of my support hand when shooting bench or prone than anything else.  On my SBR, it's an old fashioned vertical grip all the way.  I never got into the stubby ones.

You may be thinking vertical grip, not angled grip.

I sure hope so, because I thought this was long settled afg vs full forend grip on AR pistols.

Hmm, I guess you're right.  I was under the impression that the ATF had said that AFGs were not allowed either, but hand-stops were.  Good to know.

Still, AFGs suck.  Almost as much as the NFA's nebulous web of contradictory statements sucks.
