In my ever growing box o' things tried, and then ditched...lies a couple of Magpul AFGs. I hate them. There are many AR Barbie parts I hate, and nobody, especially the mfr of said shitty parts; cares what I think. I need to sell a mystery box of AR parts on Ebay. Oh, and your rant sucks  |

The Magpul AFG2 works perfectly for me on extended rails Grips, fore Grips, stocks ..... are extremely personal as to what works for who. Just because it doesn't work for you does not mean it's garbage There are plenty of real deal peeps running Magpul AFGs and liking them |

Try the test I outlined in my OP. Look at your hand to wrist relationship. Feel what having your wrist in the neutral position feels like. Then grip your AFG2. Notice how much past neutral you have to twist your wrist. Notice how having your wrist in that postion feels. Tolerable, yes. As good as having your wrist relaxed in the neutral postion, no way. AFG2's, FUG's, etc. all feel "great" until you try something with the proper grip shape and grip angle. When you see someone using a vertical foregrip with his index and second fingers on the forend and his ring and little finger on the vertical grip, what you are witnessing is someone trying to create a grip style that puts his wrist in a comfortable neutral position. An angled grip at a steep enough angle just makes that easier and more comfortable.

Some shooters use a grip where the leading hand has the thumb side of the hand toward the shooter's face. This is different than the traditional rifle grip on the forend. The advantage of this grip is that it "unwinds" the bones in the forearm so there is less stress in the forearm. The old shutzen rifles used to have a ball like device mounted under the forend for this reason. The less stress, the less movement. For precision shooting this grip is very useful, but the grip needs to go traditional for very fast target engagements.
Shooting a few targets offhand at distance is where this grip shines....fast engagements, not so much. |

The angle of the dangle of the grip is up for debate by the ATF. So maybe it's not as simple as making it comfortable.

As far we know, the most comfortable wrist angle is inversely proportional to the angle of how your dick hangs.

That AFG is also backwards. Love the 45 offset sights on a rifle with a fixed FSB and 1x dot. A rear BUIS wouldn't have worked.  |

@cochraneap
May I have the name of this build, or the parts you put together please? I have been starting to look into the 22 realm over the past 2-3 days (newbie), and this seems exactly what was in my head. |
