Tactical Shotgun Railed Forend Rifle Angled Foregrip - Black -Magpul
Product Description
The Angled Fore Grip is compatible with any M1913
Picatinny-railed hand guard. It provides a comfortable and stable user
interface that reduces fatigue and allows for more precise weapon control.
By positioning the shooter’s hand high on the centerline of
the bore, unlike conventional vertical fore grips, the AFG helps mitigate
recoil and control the weapon to facilitate faster, more accurate follow-up
shots. Provides a consistent reference point for finding the correct hand
position quickly when mounting the weapon under stress.
Height, over rail: 1.75”
Length: 5.55”
Weight: 2.92 oz.
Width, maximum: 1.77”
Features:
Polymer 3-Piece Design
Interchangeable Finger Shelf
Mounts to Picatinny & NATO STANAG
All mounting hardware is included
Heavy-duty reinforced molded polymer construction stands up
to the hard knocks of tactical operations, and deep, molded-in grooves help you
maintain a firm grip even with wet hands.
The Polymer three-piece design, with interchangeable inserts
provides the choice of an "A1-style" straight, uninterrupted gripping
surface or an "A2-style" with a convenient ledge to support the index
finger.
The grip slides over any M1913 Picatinny and NATO STANAG
4694 rails (min. of 4" recommended) and locks securely in place with a
hardened steel crossbolt.
The AFG may be installed on tactical shotguns and other
rifles with railed forend and won't interfere with insertion and removal of
magazines on AK-47s.
The natural, ergonomic hand position with the palm facing up
results in better blood flow than the "clenched fist" stance often
used with vertical grips that leads to fatigue and loss of sensation during
long periods in the ready position.
Improves on the "thumb break" hold often used with
standard vertical grips by allowing the thumb to rest comfortably alongside the
top rail, pointing forward, with the rest of the hand in full contact with the
forend.
AFG Installation Instructions:
Step 1:
Remove Slotted
Screw
Using a flat-head screwdriver,
loosen and completely remove the 10-24 slotted screw.
NOTE:
After removing the 10-24 screw, the 10-24 hex nut on the opposite side will be
loose. Take care not to lose the nut.
Step 2:
Position AFG on
Rail
After the 10-24 slotted screw is
removed, slide the AFG onto the rail, making sure there is a clear path for the
slotted screw in step 3. If the AFG is too snug to slide easily over the rail,
use a 7/16” hex key to loosen the two 6-32 x 5/8” socket head cap screws.
WARNING:
Install AFG so it is entirely mounted on the handguard with the front of the
fore-grip at least 3” rearward of the muzzle. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury, burns, or loss of digits.
Step 3:
Install and
Tighten Slotted Screw
When desired position is reached, reinstall the
10-24 slotted screw and tighten with a flat-head screwdriver. Retighten the two
socket head cap screws to 8-10 inch-lbs with a 7/16” hex key if loosened in
Step 2.
NOTE:
Take care not to over tighten screws. Over tightening may result in damage to
the AFG.
Step 4:
Verify
Installation
Perform final inspection including a function check per US Army TM 9-1005-319-23&P (3-18) Unit and Direct Support Maintenance Manual to verify correct installation.
Always test fire your weapon before using it in an operational environment.
AFG Finger Shelf Insert Install Instructions:
Step A: Remove all three screws
NOTE:
Remove AFG from weapon before proceeding.
Using a flat-head screwdriver remove the
10-24 slotted screw. Once the slotted screw is removed, use a 7/64” hex key to
remove the remaining two 6-32 x 5/8” socket head cap screws.
Step B: Separate Two Halves
Holding the AFG upside-down, “fold”
the two halves outward to disengage locking mechanism, then pull apart. Use
care not to lose the insert.
Step C: Position Insert
There are two inserts included
with the AFG. The Finger Shelf Insert and the Straight Insert. To install,
place the insert into the appropriate groove. Each insert may be installed in
either direction to optimize the fore-grip for user preference. After
installing the desired insert, hook the Locking Tabs into the appropriate slots
and “fold” inward. Hold and continue to Step D.
Step D: Retighten Socket Head Screws
While holding the 2 halves
together, insert the two 6-32 x 5/8” socket head cap screws and tighten using a
7/64” hex key to 8-10 inch-lbs.
NOTE: Take
care not to over tighten Socket Head Cap Screws. Over tightening may result in
damage to the AFG.
After this is complete, proceed to Step 2
on the install instructions.
