Cheap rail solution?

Avose

So im looking for a cheap rail to just put any old foregrip on, and i really dont wanna pay 35 dollars for this. I know im cheap, but i prefer to save my cash for the internals

Its my M4, and im trying to attach rails to the bottom of the handguard.

I found these rails, theyre the cheapest available. Could I attach those instead using the bolts included and some washers? The rails dont need to be long, just big enough for a standard foregrip.

Thanks,
Avose

there is a rail that is designed to fit to an m4 foregrip... ehobby have it too.

If the price difference is enough to make you not want it, you're in the wrong sport... its about 10-15$

Its not that i dont want it, just that ill have to wait longer before i can afford it. I have an order ready for about €150 already, and i was just curious about how much it would cost me to get a foregrip.
Ill probably save for the first one i mentioned and buy it at a later date, but im still curious. Is it possible to use the G36C rails with some washers?

Or you could wait 'til the gun arrives and see if you really want a foregrip?

No, when i said i have an order, i meant its an order of parts. Im doing a moderate upgrade on my standard M4. Its all internal upgrades (HS motor, guarder bucking, tightbore etc), bar the silencer used to store the longer barrel.
I do want a foregrip, ive used one before on a mates gun and i really like the feel, and the added control it gives.
I'll probably give the rails a miss this time, and mess around with making my own. its more fun that way, and when (not if) that doesnt work out ill buy the rails a month or two down the line when I place another order.
