Magpul Fore Grips | Magpul Grips | Black Rifle Depot

Magpul Industries is known for high-quality American-made products and accessories made from their blend of high-strength polymer. They
have been producing affordable, lightweight options for operators, and their AR 15 Fore Grips lineup is no exception.

They make their fore grips from the same high-quality polymer
as their other Magpul products to produce some of the best-loved fore grips on
the market today. Magpul offers a short list of options in fore grips that cover
the bases in use and styling. They offer their fore grip line in standard
Magpul colors: Black, FDE, Stealth Gray, and OD Green.

They were sure to integrate different grip textures on the
various models to ensure positive control in all environments. Their grips feel
right in both an ungloved hand and a gloved one.

Magpul’s fore grips, including the vertical grips, are designed and optimized for using the “thumb break method.” For
those unfamiliar with the thumb break method, the thumb stays on the same
side of the weapon as the fingers, not wrapped around the grip in an opposing
manner. This allows for a higher center of gravity, more control, and lessened recoil rise.

Magpul is Proudly Made in the USA

Every one of their products is proudly made in the
United States by Americans, from American-sourced raw materials from American
Suppliers. You really cannot get much more pro-American than Magpul Industries.

What Style is Magpul Fore Grip Best?

Magpul offers only a few options for their lineup of fore grips.
You might think they need more options, but the truth is, more isn’t always
more. In this case, it is as accurate as ever. Regarding each shooter, there is only one best way for the shooter to control the weapon. That
favorite method can be enhanced or hindered by adding a foregrip.
Magpul knows this all too well and, as such, has engineered a few optimized
foregrips to meet the industry’s needs.

They offer a vertical, angled, and hand stop. That is
realistically all that is needed to satisfy the need for gripping and
controlling the front end of your weapon. Let’s take a closer look at each and
what the benefits and drawbacks of each are.

Magpul Industries Vertical Fore Grips

Their lineup of vertical fore grips again comes in the
standard colors. They have three possible grips to choose from.

The RVG is a lightweight, cost-effective vertical
fore grip that mounts to a Picatinny rail. This is a very easy-to-install and
use foregrip. The benefit of this grip is that the mounting footprint is small and can be placed anywhere along the bottom of a handguard with a Picatinny rail. The drawback is it mounts so solid that it can become a formidable
protrusion to attend to if stored in a bag. It is also not 50 states legal on
any weapon with a barrel length under 16”. So, be sure to check your local jurisdiction
before mounting your gun.

The MVG-MOE: This is the gold standard of traditional
fore grips. The iconic MVG is an essential, lightweight, affordable vertical fore
grip that attaches directly to MOE hand guards. This means there is no need for
extra rails. The shape is an ergonomic design that replaces a traditional
vertical grip. This grip has also been optimized for use with the
“thumb break method” of shooting. The potential drawback is that you must have a MOE handguard or fore-end to mount this grip.

The M-LOK MVG Is an inexpensive, lightweight
vertical fore grip that attaches directly to M-LOK compatible fore-ends and
handguards. While this grip is made from the same high-quality polymer as the
other grips and comes in the same colors, it features the new Magpul TSP
texture for added positive control in all conditions and environments. The
possible drawback is that it must mount to M-LOK handguards or fore-ends, besides always being out of stock everywhere. So, could you check your equipment before buying? It, too, is optimized for thumb break handling.

Magpul Industries Angled Fore Grips

The AFG Is compatible with mounting on most M1913
Picatinny-railed hand guards. This grip was designed with natural body
mechanics at the forefront of purpose. It provides a comfortable and stable control/contact
point that reduces fatigue and allows for more precise weapon control.
It does this by positioning the shooter’s hand on the bore’s centerline and allowing for faster, more accurate follow-up shots. This ergonomic hand placement also reduced felt recoil. Possible
drawbacks include it being the largest and heaviest of the angled foregrips.

The AFG-2: This is shorter in length and narrower
in width than the original AFG. This angled fore grip is also compatible with
most M1913 Picatinny-railed handguards. The AFG-2, by keeping the hand and hold
of the weapon at near centerline, helps mitigate felt recoil and aids in control
of the weapon for faster, more accurate follow-up shots. The potential drawback
is due to its smaller size and missing side wraps; it is best suited for a larger
or gloved hand for optimal comfort.

The M-LOK AFG Is the direct result of research and
continued refinements to the AFG and AFG-2. This is a high-strength ultra, lightweight fore grip. The engineers could maintain a similar gripping surface by adhering to a minimalist design profilebut create a smaller grip. It is .75” smaller than the already shorter AFG-2. The only
drawback is that you must have an M-LOK handguard to utilize this angle’s foregrip.

Magpul Industries Handstop

The M-LOK Hand Stop Kit: Okay, while this is
technically not a foregrip, it serves much the same purpose, so we included it
here for your convenience. It is a light weight, less intrusive weapon
control point and forward stop. This is arguably the most versatile of the
options, as it is configurable in multiple fashions. This style of fore
gripping the weapon is closest to the centerline, ergonomic, and comfortable. It boasts TSP Texture for enhanced grip and comes in the standard choice
of colors. The drawback is that you may need additional M-LOK
Rail Type 2 Covers to complete the textured area you intend to hold.
