    Been looking at different foregrips to use with my M4 and found the following to catch my eye.
    Just wondering what people think of them?

    The two foregrips is the

    MAGPUL PTS AFG Angled Fore Grip
    and the
    Tactical Bipod Grip

    Also was looking at FAB Defense Mag Well Grip

    Anyone have any good and bad points about them?

    I have the AFG and used it for the first time on Sunday and loved it. Was a lot more comfertable than a verticle grip.
    It feels more natural to hold, only downside (kind of) is that it takes up quite a bit of rail space.

    Ah cool, how exactly did you have to hold it cuz I've seen some very odd ways of holding it.
    Rail space I'm not too concerned about, I've got my torch on the side and don't use a laser *had one and barely used it* So I've got the entire bottom free for the grip. :D

    I used all of the grips, and I must say that the MWG is the best.
    You can install AFG and MWG together. Use MWG when shooting standing and AFG when shooting in the lying position.

    I was considering that option as the MWG doesn't interfere with the other grips at all.
    I know there's different versions of the MWG and was wondering which one would be the best as I heard the FAB defense MWG although a very good grip may need to be modified to fit properly.

    Also has anyone used a MWG with a M203 attached aswell?
    Can you use the MWG without getting your fingers caught against the M203?

    i had the FAB Tactical Foregrip-Bipod. i sold it in here soon after i bought it. Reasons are while its a fantastic bipod its extremely annoying as foregrip because a) its huge and it looks like a sleeping bat hanging from your RIS (atleast that what it looked on my GR15-L), b) it wobbles ALOT ( due to the reverse triangle rail mount) even when you hold it extremely tight. The guy that bought it off me said he is planing on using it on a FN Minimi Para or something of that size. To be honest i think that use would be the only suitable one for this foregrip/bipod.

    Having said the above i need to mention that the design and materials used atleast on the one i got are very very good quality wise.The wobble is an unfortunate sideffect of the design.

    cheers for all the responses.

    I'm kinda decided on the foregrip AFG and the MWG for the fact that I've found I grip the MWG when firing on my left hand side and using my M203. I'd use the AFG when firing on my more natural right side.

    I did get to test the bipod grip and alot its handy for when you put the gun down between games it does wobble a bit and seems to 'stick out', which to me is quite annoying as I'll admit I do tend to pick my stuff with a element of appearance being taken into account. *Gotta make it look pretty*

    Hopefully when I get the pieces I can take photos and slap them up in the photo section.

    Cheers gang!

    word of warning about the AFP.
    There's 2 versions...v2 is for smaller rails so I had problems fitting it onto my masada,
    Whereas it fitted perfectly onto a LaRue RAS kit I had..

    saying that I love the AFG...I tended to hold the gun by the magwell rather than the MVG and with the AFG on it I started holding by that as it felt extremely comfortable

    Yeah I had noticed there seemed to be two versions but they were mentioned nearly as footnotes which I found dodgey.
