Ray, that is the Magpul AFG (angled fore grip). I have one if you want to buy it.

 

I'll take it! I have to buy the rails from Magpul right? I don't like rails all over the place just for the things I screw on. I need a set for this grip and a set for a light, that's it!

Just finished this two weeks ago. Bushy M4gery upper and lower, no muzzle device, DPMS lower parts, Rock River BCG, Magpul CTR stock (pinned), MIAD grip, Troy Battle sights, H2 Buffer, Badger Ord Tac Latch, Pulling my hair out trying to figure out which handguard/rail to buy. Eotec next. Shoots like a dream

 

Very nice, oldslabsides, jhs, pronoun, MidwestPX, and Ray (even though yours is the funky one ). I'm digging the 20'' pronoun, something I've been considering for a long time. JHS, my original rifle was an ORC that rocked the AFG for a short while.

I have something in the works... a few months out, but should take over the SHTF role

Shane, that's the new mount I just read about in a gun rag. It's a 1x4 right?

Haha I do too Frank! You're welcome to shoot it whenever I'm up there. Lookin to make a trip in about a week or so. Things are finally beginning to settle in.

 

 

Give me a yell. I have some ammo for you to try.

Its the Elcan Specter DR Calibrated in 7.62

Shane you always have the coolest toys. I am so jealous

You suck.

 

How do you like the LMT sopmod?

I havent got it to the range yet. Hoping this weekend. It feels good free standing. I hear its not so hot for prone. Wont know for sure until I make it go BANG!

Heres a pic of the MWS Deployed by our brethren across the pond.

I really, really want my two to show up!!

Holy smokes, you still dont have them?!?!

Man these pics make me want a AR. Very Nice guys.

Holy smokes, you still dont have them?!?!

Nope, had to make a deal with LMT that set my original ship date back. Basically traded in my original January order date for a June order date to purchase a second one at the original price.

What sling are you planning to use on yours?

Decided to join in on the AR fun.

 

Picked this up today! M&P15ORC

While I was at it, I got a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 and a flat-top riser.

 

 

I'm very new to ARs but my plan involves:

New handgrip

New Handrail

Bipod

New Trigger guard

BUS and or a Green Laser

 

Update:

 

Nikon Prostaff 3x9x40 Scope

Flat Top Riser

Magpul Trigger Guard

Magpul MOE Pistol Grip, Handguard , and 7 Slot Rail

Rail-Mounted Bipod Adapter

Harris Style Bipod

Magpul 20rd Mags blocked to 15rds.

Rubber Butt-pad

I have a BAD Lever, but I still haven't installed it yet.

When did the Brits start using multicam?

Very recent change. I have a buddy who just got back from a main hub, and he said it was a very recent move. I don't know if its in conjunction with the USA's move, but I wouldn't be surprised. Personally I agree that there should be a universal camo for certain AOs-- just makes sense.

What sling are you planning to use on yours?

Probably a BFG Vickers Padded. This is my current go-to sling. Fast adjustment and very comfortable.

Heres a pic of my Colt6940. I popped the GAP .260 into the background for scale on how freekin big a precision gasser is. Now you know why its 16 lbs without optics!!!!

 

My tokarev-15 with some new furniture and free floats. I like the FDE/black combo so i ditched the all black stuff for some new bi-tone goodies.

Looks good!

 

I don't know how much you care about accuracy or consistency out of this weapon - but in my opinion you should take that light and mount off of your barrel, and get it on your free float hand guards. With your current setup the weight of the mount/light will affect harmonics, and will affect consistency of your shot placement.

 

If you're not out for accuracy then I guess it doesn't matter, but I felt compelled...

I agree with Proactive. I dont like anything strapped to my barrel. If you look at the way mine is mounted, I have no trouble at all thumbing the tail cap switch.

just to add if you are interested in a cheap decent quality light mount, I picked up the vtac offset light mount for like $25 and it is working without issue, reliatively lightweight and durable.

You guys have a legitimate point and, yes, i am concerned with the issue of accuracy hence the addition of the specter length rail to replace the old CAR handguards. My quandary though is that i like the laser to be on vertical axis with respect to the barrel, however, in the up position, it blocks the scope and in the down position, there's no more rail real estate to mount it to. OTOH, the doo-dad in front of the AFG is a QD bipod mount that i could possible swap out with a QD light/laser mount since i wont be using the laser outside and i wont be using the bipod inside. I have to get rid of the tape switch for that one though.

Could you mount the tape switch on the top portion of the rail, freeing up space on the left rail?

is the thing in the front of the barrel a laser and light?

What mag is the optic? What is the role you are trying to fill here?

 

Lights, lasers and AFG tend to be CQB role items. Optics and Bipods tend to be DMR role items...

 

Working with what you have and your alignment pref, I would try ditching the bipod, move the light underneath, and swap the position of the tape switch panel and the two small panels. This way you dont inadvertantly pop on yer light when you dont want to.

 

Or you could just move the light to 3 oclock. If your aiming with the laser its a bad breath close shot anyway so offset likely wont matter.

might just be some type of reflex optic? low magnification? I have a 4-9x scope and the front sight post completely disappears even on the lowest magnification. just a guess..
