    So excited, can't wait!

    a frame that you can mod or fit the pneumag kit into or frame that already completed or milled for the kit. most common for this use a entelli frame, but there are few done with other frames. oh also would need to have a rail with a channel for the LPR hose. LPR hose would go from the kit installed in the frame, into the rail channel into the LPR foregrip.

    Luke, you can show us by the minute if that's okay. That is looking so cool and I can't wait to see the finished product. Digging through pockets right now saving funds for this.

    Okay. How does the LPR fore-grip contribute to a pnue-mag setup, or what does a pnuemag have to gain from using a LPR fore-grip? I mean, I see pnuemag setups without any type of LPR foregrip...

    You get LPR that doesn't look like one and get to run the lp hose hidden inside the rail. Not all frames can fit LPR inside.
    And it'll be easier to adjust.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    The LPRFG fits surprising well in your hands, looks bigger than what it feels like. I'm real please over all with the feel and design.

    Now I need to figure out some to do some controlled tests to see how it performs.

    you should probably get one of those shoebox compressors

    I like it.
    I will probably need one of these.

    So are you suggesting that the Shoebox will magically set up a controlled testing platform to give me performance data?

    Damn you luke, that looks awesome

    Hey Luke, err Matt,

    Will your LPR foregrip sit flush on my rail with the z-grip?

    Man I'm not sure about the curved face on this. It looks good to me until it's assembled with the other parts. The convex face just does not seem to flow with the rest of the parts. I moved it back towards the grip frame and it looks a little better but I'm still not sure if I like it. It feels really good, just not sure about the looks(?)

    I'm leaning towards my original design, what do you guys think?



    Not sure if it matters at this point...

    What does it look like sliding it forward to match the top front edge with the bottom front edge of the rail?

    Or... and I know you'll hate this.. but milling up a specific rail to match up with this?

    I like it, it would also be sweet to have a version that had a "magazine" look to it to go with the Tac One bodies I love the Tac One bodies but there aren't many FG that go along with the look.

    I still think that looks better.

    Just an idea but have you tried what it would look like with 15° angle or something around there? It looks like there would be room for that.

    Ok here's some quick photoshopping to try to visualize things.
    This is photoshopping so some deformation has occurred on the ones I straightened.

    this is the original (moved front of the rail).


    Here's how it could be more or less straight

    Very nice part.

    Laku, thanks for the photoshop it helps.

    Between the 2 options shown by Luke I prefer the first one.

    And in the option on the Laku's work, I prefer the first 2 and mostly the sencond one.

    Still like the original, first one.

    Here's how it would be angled 5 degrees to the front


    Here's reversed and angled 5 degrees front.


    Here's reversed straight, angled 5 degrees front.


    Here's 5 degrees front and straight
    Photoshop it with a shorter rail moving the foregrip closer to the grip if you can.

    I doubt these would ever come with a 15* angle, sorry.
    If you wanted to turn it around backwards that would work.
    Maybe I'm being overly critical, it's actually very comfortable as is.
    I think it will boil down to one version if we can get them to production.

    My CAD drawing and Laku's #2 is the same part. I just didn't add the side cuts, let me do the cad work and I'll post that.

    No problem. It was just an idea, and doesn't seem to work too well when visualized.

    Now that I look at those I think number 2 is more elegant, like you thought. It's a small thing but I think it just looks better because it's not as wide as the one with curved front. Makes it look lighter.

    Either way I'm good with both designs.

    I think it's the gap between the frame and grip that makes it look a bit wonky. I think it will look great on an AM/MM length flat bottomed rail. Maybe one that is built to purpose with a matching curve on the front.

    The machining on the top of the LPR will be exposed when mounted on an AM rail.
    I will happily sell you guys new rails with the FG.
