Factory "type" M4 foregrip

[d]

I was never happy with how aftermarket foregrips looked on the M4 so I made my own.

Nice.

Certainly looks good, but that also appears to be the grip from the collapsible stock, so I think that's probably too pricey for the rest of us (assuming Benelli isn't willing to sell just that grip).

Care to go into detail about how ya did it?

I milled out a recess in the grip frame to slide in the pressure pad under the overmold, looks very sano.

No need to apologize sir, we all have different values.

I, on the other hand think that you have done very nice job, for a first try. When you bought the pistol grip handle form Numrich, was it just the polymer grip, less the threaded ring and pin?

[d]

Thank you pdw4137, yes it is just the polymer grip. The pictures do not give an accurate representation, the lighting highlights all the differences in color. With the nautral eye the foregrip looks quite uniform and nice. If one was looking toward the muzzel at a distance of a few yards, I do not think there would be disparagaing remarks what so ever. regards -d.

Anyone know when the new surfire rail system will be available? That should make for a pretty nice set up.

Fugly???? I am very anal about my guns, I HATE scratches. Yet I have to say that is a SWEET M4. You did a great job. If I ever get an M4, I think I'll have you detail it for me. The only thing that looks a little bit ugly is the top of the front pistol grip, but that is not that bad.

[d]

Thank you Liberty or death Jr., I do still have some punch and trim to do on it. Always easier to remove material than repace it.

HDRDKG - Call SF I think they are in the final production stages, I had one ordered but I was not happy with it's appearence, I felt the rails protruded too much and I did not like the nylon trim piece at the top.
