    Gauging interest in a Micromag Foregrip.

    Conceptual question here:

    Would it be lighter to take your design, hack it off maybe an inch down from the top and step the OD and add a set of double o-ring groves. Then slap a length of carbon fiber in there with an end cap? I know you roll with aluminum mostly, and there's a plethora of CF grips out there, but I'd think it'd be lighter on the ULE scale.

    If you're not getting how I'm rolling think the old Shoebox shocker barrel plugs.

        I've been looking for a foregrip for months now! I would be totally interested, although the i'm not a big fan of the round grip - looks like the ikea pipe mod that was done, and it just seems out of place with the lines of the Micro. I would love to see a grip modeled after the benchmark grip frame that come with all the Micros.. I dont have mine in front of me, but i would guess a rectangular shape 3 to 4 inches long, 1.25 to 1.5 inches wide, 5/8 inches deep, with a smooth round curve on the front with a slightly more squared off curve on the back. Similar to an Invert mini foregrip without the pronounced bow on the front. Not necessary but welcome feature would be making it gas-thru, but that wouldnt be required for me to shell out the money.

        Whatever happens, I'll be watching this thread closely!

          I think it's pretty plain honestly. If it definitely fits a bike grip grip, it would be interesting, but I would still prefer the sides of the top 2" or so flattened. But then you are getting pretty similiar to the stock vert mount.

            Might be interested in a single hole AM/MM mount one.

              A little plain as is (which I like)
              or you could throw on a set of these>


              Or these.


              Or my favorites from the 70's>


              The choices are pretty much endless.

                I could probably add that to the list.

                  I agree. I think the roundness of it would look odd with a Micromag due to there boxy and sharp cut lines. However, if it is this or nothing, I would much rather have this foregrip just because any Micromag foregrip is hard to come by. Good work!

                    I've never seen a stock MM from PTP (besides the EM) that didnt have a round FG.
                    Both Micros I own came with round grips.

                      I actually have a spare red/black Schwinn bmx grip around if someone wants it. Honestly, since I just had you mill a foregrip for me to fit, I really don't have a need for another, so my input is probably worthless.

                        I made some rudimentary images of what I was thinking, but uploading them seems to be an issue (they are jpg, 400x300 pixels - not sure what the problem is. It just tells me they are not valid..)

                            How about doing a sleeper foregrip where you can hide a lpr inside and run the line through and into the rail?

                              a sleeper grip would surely sell with all the pneu mags people are building i would be up for at least one
