Ever since a TangoDown vertical grip mated to a LaRue locking lever mount was spied in some of MFingar’s (LaRue’s photographer extraordinaire) photos, LaRue has been under constant urging to offer something like that. Bowing to the pressure, LaRue Tactical has come out with their FUG (Forward Universal Grip) which is a vertical grip based around their renowned adjustable locking lever mount. It comes with three different end caps to give the user a choice of three different configurations to suit their shooting style.
Magpul Industries CTR Stock
July 1stThe CTR (Compact/Type Restricted) stock from Magpul Industries is a very lightweight and sturdy replacement for the standard M4 carbine collapsible stock with a unique friction lock feature that eliminates any wiggle or play. It’s available in two versions; one for mil-spec receiver extensions (buffer tubes) and one for commercial receiver extensions.
We first saw the prototype of the TangoDown BGV-MK46 vertical grip with ADM (American Defense Manufacturing) quick-release rail mount at the 2008 SHOT Show in Las Vegas. Well, the new TD/ADM vertical grip is finally here and will be available shortly from TangoDown dealers. The new ADM-mount grips are quick-release versions of TangoDown’s existing models; the Standard length with tape switch pocket, the Standard length with ITI (Insight Technology Inc) tape switch pocket, and the Stubby (K) version. All are available in Black, Flat Dark Earth and Foliage Green.
Magpul Industries UBR Stock
April 2ndMagpul Industries’ new UBR (Utility/Battle Rifle) Stock is the long-awaited replacement for their innovative MSS M93 stock, which introduced concepts not previously seen on collapsing rifle stocks for the AR15 family of weapons. The M93 was more of a proof of concept/test bed for the many new features and as time went on, certain deficiencies surfaced which were ultimately corrected, but it was time to take it to the next level. You could call the UBR the highly evolved child of the M93; taking its parent’s features and executing them in a much more refined manner while addressing all the previous issues.
Tango Down Grip Chip
January 30thInstallation of the TangoDown vertical grip can be a challenge on some tight rails. You have to depress both locking bars while sliding the grip down the rail to the position you desire. Some of us have come up with ways to keep the locking bars depressed during installation, with tie wraps or sticks, for example. TangoDown has now come out with a little armorer tool called the Grip Chip made just for this purpose.
BOBRO Short Vertical Foregrip with SACL
August 25thIn my previous writeup on the BOBRO grip, I mentioned that one of the things I’d like to see is a shorter version for those who don’t wrap their entire hand around the vertical grip (like me). Well, they’ve come out with one. For those who prefer a shorter vertical grip, the BOBRO Short Vertical Fore Grip offered by Ranier Arms is the short version of the BOBRO Vertical Fore Grip.
BOBRO Vertical Grip with SACL
July 26thThe BOBRO Vertical Fore Grip offered by Ranier Arms doesn’t look much different from many of the other AR15 vertical grips on the market at first glance, but it sets itself apart from the others by virtue of its interesting attachment mechanism. It’s called the SACL (Self Aligning Compression Lock). Instead of having a dovetail which you slide onto the rail/handguard, the SACL allows the BOBRO grip to be attach anywhere on the rail without sliding it from the front.
This is the new BGV-MK46K “K” grip. The first versions of the K (also called the “Stubby”) were cut down BGV-MK46 grips with the compartment cap glued onto the end, made at the request of certain users who wanted a shorter vertical grip. The new K grip is a new mold, which eliminates the pressure switch panel and has compartment with removable end cap.
