        If someone built it, for *insert electro of the month* sadly it would sell way to good.

          Which would be compatible with the tactical rail accessory for the Fidget Foregrip:

          The utility of such a thing should be obvious:

            my only question is whether it comes with or without the spinners pre-installed. not sure i could handle the kinda heavy lifting it would take to rip them out of hand and mount onto foregrip.

            this thread made my day.

              Order thread for v1?
              If we get to 100pcs, Luke will make them if GB doesn't want to and GB still gets a free one.

                On a more serious note......

                Do people want an all-aluminum foregrip, or a mix of aluminum and rubber, like the old RT foregrip? The mix would be my preference.

                What about something like the foregrip on this mag?

                It's not gas-through, obviously. It's just a SRAM rubber bike grip shoved over an old gutted sledgehammer LPR. But I think it would be easy to recreate something similar to the old RT foregrips using something like this. Start with 1" aluminum bar stock....drill the top for a 1/4-20 screw....drill the bottom and a side for 1/8-NPT...shave down the lower part to fit a 7/8" grip...anodize it black...add the rubber grip, and you're good to go.

                And if people don't like the little ridge at the top of the grip, there are lots of other options. Like this. Or this.

                Better yet, why not build the basic grip shape in aluminum but don't include any grip at all? Just make the hand-holding part to be 7/8" (or some other standard bike grip diameter). Then people can jump onto ebay and buy whatever style they like best and glue it on themselves. That way if the SRAM grips are discontinued, the builder isn't left with a bunch of useless aluminum stubs.

                  Bad idea to go with the standard Automag mount, the RTP will easily sell 10-1 (likely more) over the AM single screw mount. You can easily slot the AM rail to use the RTP mount.

                    Honestly, for me if it looks like bike grip I'll pass. Those are just plain ugly.

                      Sadly, I think that the foregrips that Venomous Designs was coming up with was a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, there was a VERY limited production before he disappeared and we never saw the different versions produced.

                        I would agree. I don't own any that he made but they have always been on my list of wants.

                            Bit of a noob question, but why are there no foregrips made to be like real steel firearms like these grips?

                                This.

                                And it wouldn't be that hard to get picatiny/weaver rail and drill and tap that for foregrip attachement.
