The Feel
Magpul has really thought about functionality when making a product. When using some of the products from the competition or just
My first thought when I grabbed the magpul’d out rifle was the forward hand grip. The feel of the Angled Fore Grip took some time to get used to but I am glad I worked through my initial pessimism. The new style of grip allowed me to keep better control of the rifle during the felt recoil stage of firing the rifle and allowed me to get back on target very quickly. Like I said, it took a little bit to get used to but now I like it. Let me know what you think below if you have this set up.
Magpul is not the cheapest, but it is the go to for our military and police tactical experts for a reason. The stuff works and it is well thought out. We tested the No products found., The MIAD (MIssion ADaptable) Grip Kit, MagPul Angled Fore Grip, MOE Hand Guard, and the MagPul ACS Carbine Stock. All of these components met our standards. They were well built, fit the rifle very tight with no play or rattling around. They were also ergonomically pleasing to the shooter and made a day at the range a joy. I have moved through a number of pieces and I am committed to No products found. (front and back) for all of my weapons. I have used Troy Battle Sites in the past and I like them as well but I now prefer the MBUS sites. I have the MOE SGA Forend on my Remington 870, the MOE buttstocks in varying configurations for 5.56 and .308, and the MS3 and MS4 slings on all of the weapons as well as adapter kits for each. I am also a believer in the PMAG, which is the 30 round mag which made Magpul famous.
