I already had an A3 Industries M-LOK Modular Vertical Foregrip 3.5oz size on a IWI Carmel, this thumb rest just made the grip 1,000% better ! It helps to position your grip/hand placement perfectly every time while providing much more controlabilty of the rifle for faster target acquisitions as the forearm now becomes almost and extention of your arm itself, your hand feels "locked in!". What a sling can do for you in providing that sorta feedback and stability for your rifle, THIS thumb rest does as well. When combined with a foregrip like the A3, I can "wedge" my forward hand in there locking it in.....It's amazing, you gotta try this I promise you won't be dissapointed.

Craftsmanship, fit, finish, weight, design. All perfect in every respect. Fit together perfectly, solid feel. QD's in correct locations, numbered rail system. IMO lots of bang for the buck here, so put one on everyone of my AR platform rifles.

I have tried many. One of the reasons to have a foregrip is for weapon retention, preventing an advisary from disarming you while in the field of work. This will do that job perfectly. Some I tried before were aluminum/metal, Composite plastics. I have found metal verticle grips become hot in the sun and cold in winter when outside for periods of time. The ones I tried ranged in price up to $100.00. (I wear size M/L latex gloves for shop work so you have idea how big my hands are ) I have found some grips to be too short, some too long IMO hanging down too far especially when attaching to a small AR platform rifle or bullpup for CQB work. IMO this one has the best dimentions of any I have tried. It's basic simple rugged construction, fills the hand perfectly and perfect shape and size. It hit a home run in every department I was looking for, and above all you can't beat the price. I have this grip attached to all my rifles and PC Carbines and two on a hook for future builds. You can't go wrong with this verticle grip I promise you...

To remedy not being able to use DBAL style CT laser/light furnature, Optics Planet sells a 9 slot picatinny rail which fits perfectly along the 12 O'clock M-Lock Slots. ( AIM Sports Inc Picatinny M-LOK Rail Section - 9 slot ) and not expensive. Mounted on top, left clearance for mounting equipment along the top.

Not even sure how this one passed B5 muster esp since all my other furnature on all my AR platforms is B5 Systems since they make awesome products. IF you want to upgrade from stock carbine HG with little or no intentions of adding any furnature to the forend then its a five star piece. C grip is so much easier. Thinner has its consequensce. The heat shield on bottom precludes abilty to add Magpul M-lok QD mount near the front. It deforms the heat sheild then creates a huge gap between upper and lower pieces. The 12 O'clock rearward M-lok slots are right up against the gas tube, ( Right up against it!) so those cant be used either. Plastic is not strong. Again, its great until you want to add stuff to it. Has a shape reminiscent of a PTR-91. Wish it were better made and just a bit broader to accomodate M-lok nuts...The Magpul version of this guard has nothing at the 12 O'clock!! Not even M-lok slots so I had hoped this was to be my solution w/o having to add a drop in full rail system.....oh well.

My only critique. The M-lok slot locations and lack thereof....None at the twelve O'clock and the ones "towards" the top are slightly angled at the two O'clock. Why didn't they have a picatinny rail molded into the top half of the handguard ? Wasted realestate IMO. Makes it difficult if not impossible to mount a DBAL or anything similar. Huge and VERY obvious mistake IMO. Otherwise a VERY SOLID piece, well made and amazingly perfect fit and good price....Yes I could get a fully outfitted pic rail h-guard, but that means covering unused rail portions adding more weight to the rifle.

There is no way to directly attach a device which uses M-Lok attachment. The nibs and bumps in areas of the M-lok openings prohibit that. One would need to attach a picatinny rail first which adds weight, cost, and height to the devices while creating another avenue for failure. The M-lok slots at the 10 and 2 O'clock are also a problem but not quite as bad. While I like the appearance and rugged feel this handguard, it would be easier to modify a stock carbine handguard using washers for top mount than using this. So that begs the question, how is this better than the stock handguard exactly if the m-lok sections have such disadvantages ? They act more like vent holes.

I have three of these. 1) Primary Arms sells awesome optics. These are pefect for AR15 Carbines. Eye relief, shake awake, crystal clear lenses, rugged construction, tactile adjustments. I either use mini ACOG QD mounts, or just mount this to the top of an AR Carry Handle using Primary Arms Carry Handle Mounts which run 20-25 dollars.
