    Custom Foregrip... Working with Luke to try to get this done! Looking for opinions!

    Alright fellas. I've been working with Luke to get this foregrip put into production.

    Want to get everyone's opinions.

    As it sits now it's a lightweight non air thru grip.

    I really like the design for some of my builds and I thought quite a few others would as well.

    I also like the idea of making this as an air thru option. As of right now, there will only be one option! Whatever the most popular design ends up being!

    Looking for everyone's thoughts!
    Thanks in advance.





    Also to note... This all got started with the introduction of the new square mags (milled tac one body) that will be sweeping the world by storm! ;-)





    Something similar to this idea... Yes, I know the one in the pic doesn't fit quite properly... But it was to give you an idea of what they'd look like!

    the top rear of the foregrip...leave it open some so that it can slide back over the gripframe trigger guard some.

      I like this idea. Would also like to see the angle on the lower front of the grip rounded out a bit.

      Lastly, I think it needs a little more character, would love to see some side milling similar to the PTP battery packs.

          There is a venomous designs one that was kinda my initial inspiration. It was open and looked like it could slide over the grip frame.

            The idea is to line up the front of the grip to the front of the body and rail on bodies that are machined to Automag length. Who is going to want a little lip in that area by moving it back a few 16's of an inch?

              I'd be more interested in a gas through option. Not a fan of a big hoop of macro up the side. I do like the idea of it coming back slightly to meet the grip frame but you might run into issues of it matching the various different types of frames. I like the idea of the PTP Trash can milling on the sides. For the one that you have pictured above just flip it around and it will be flat against your trigger frame. What do you have stashed in there behind that side panel anyway?

                I just flipped it around to show what the custom grip would resemble. That grip isn't staying on this mag!

                  My impression is that it's just to ensure compatibility with different frames that may extend further forward.

                    Such as what? All the Mag frames I know of match the Intelli frame trigger guard with the exception of the Logic frame that he made much larger than normal and were a problem on the AM/MM rails. I would bet a dime to a dollar that the G-Force frame matches too. (I've never measured one)

                      GForce frames are identical side to Intelli frames along the rail area.

                        But what I think he was referring to is something similar to the way the venomous one is. Hollow, open at the top and wider than a trigger frame. Maybe so that it could be a slight bit wider (deeper/front to back) in general... That would give it the option of filling the top gap between the trigger frame and the front grip on an RT rail, but also allowing it to fit on an AM rail by just overlapping the trigger frame.

                          Pretty much my opinion.

                            I do like the idea of getting it done as another option for Mag owners but i would have to concur with the others, Not my style.
