Does anyone know of a cover for the recess in the CQD VFG that is for the light switch tape? I just got one and love it, but don't have a light with a switch plate, and I would like to cover up the huge gap on one whole side of the grip.
PS thanks to DSG for getting the CQD and my BFG Contractor Pak out to me so quickly! Don |

I think I responded to you in a different thread on the subject but I didnt have what you were looking for in an idea. You can either face the grip the oppsite way on your rails so the flat part will be facing the tips of your fingers or you can cut out a piece of cardboard(or whatever) and cover that with innertube. I dont think anything is made commercially that will rectify your issue.

Can you show me how to secure the wrapping at the end??? I am considering this among other options, but can't figure out how you would secure the ends of the 550 when you get to the end
|
|
If the paracord is nylon it could be glued or melted at the end depending on the depth of the cord in the fins, but you know my method of filling the void.
|
|
...or maybe the Paracord is pulled up thru the drain hole and tied ?

Saw a pic of the wrap job the other day and couldn't find it today, I'm also looking for someone to post a pic of this.

I saw that pic too I believe it was wrapped around a Dieter grip. I may have that photo.................... if so I'll be back couldnt find it but did find this on Maryland AR Shooters site--------> How to wrap paracord and How to wrap a knife handle, which would be similar to a VG Google: Paracord grip |

|
That is just too cool! |

+2 It looks different than the instructions that were posted...perhaps showing us how to do it step-step in pics? |

|
doesn't look too hard, just want to know where to tuck the ends of the cord, and where to start, at the bottom or top?

I emailed him a while back concerning this exact same thing after I saw the pictures and below is the email that he sent me.

tag for a new CQD grip owner that has no intentions of using a tape switch in this lifetime or the next. That paracord trick is pretty damn neat. Kudos to the artist who started it.
|
|
Thanks! |

I just added some paracord to mine per the fantastic instructions provided above...
works GREAT!!! Thanks for sharing that trick. |
|
...be careful don't strip out the mounting holes in the V-Bar, those suckers are $20+ - yes I did it right after I got the damn thing, but figured away around it while waiting for said V-Bar to show up at home - just a word of caution... in case CQD Products 877 822 7161. Its a great VG I just dont understand why they dont make a filler for it ... dont Duane read the boards ?
|
|
too cool, must wrap mine in olive drab
ETA 550 O/D para cord just bought on ebay. QCD would sell a ton more if they offered this option |
|
Pics? |

That paracord is a sexy trick.
I just took some bicycle inner tube, cut off a section to match the recess, folded the tube over a few times so it had the bulk to fill out the recess. Then I slipped (and by slipped, I mean wiggled, jimmied, yanked, and rolled) another section of inner tube to cover the whole grip. |
|
Sure is kickass!! |

NickDrak,
From the picture I don't get where the knots are tied. Are they on the "inside" of the grip with the loose end coming through a hole to the outside so you can start your wrap? I don't have my CQD Vert Grip yet but I plan on doing this when I do. MadDog |
|
Correct, the wrap starts and finishes at the hole located at top/center of the recessed pressure pad area. Check out the directions that I IM'ed INTROOPER4255 posted on pg. 1. Whatever you do, make sure you follow the directions supplied with the CQD grip and dont over-tighten the 3 bolts! They strip VERY easily!!! |
|
|
If anyone is interested, I have my LaRue BattleLight and Dieter (the same ones pictured above)listed on the EE for sale.
|
|
NickDrak,
I am interested. I sent you both an IM and an Email. MadDog |
|
