It's nice to see grip pods. I like em. Not the best vfg, not the best bipod, but effective. I'm curious how quick the spring wears out in heavy use?

I'm curious how quick the spring wears out in heavy use? but the damned spring is probably the strongest part of the whole grip. they typically fail when a leg breaks, or one will deploy and the other won't, or the grip fails at the top near the clamp they (not sure who) used to make one that was metal and had a foam grip like what you'd find on a beach cruiser bicycle. if you can find one of those (you probably can't) they completely rock if you can't find one of those, I'd recommend one that's made for the SAW. they're more reliable and last longer |

They feel pretty sturdy, but I could see a few places of possible concern/ weaker areas. On the topic of grip pods, anyone have any experience with the Wilcox grip pod? |

With the KF and LFU installed, light transmission suffers a bit of course but clarity is still excellent. I only keep the LFU on because I know that as soon as I remove it, no matter how carefully I store it away, I will lose it lol. I had no clue how scarce the LFU had become until I got this sight and took a look around. |
