AR rails and grips

Looking at adding more parts onto my AR , looking at installing a mag well grip as it feels more comfortable holding the rifle there besides using a vertical forward grip . Also since I've got a Troy industries 7" quad rail looking at using rail covers but there's 3 different styles

Anyone here using any of these ?? , do they help any or ??

 

How good are the Magpul XTM enhanced rail covers ??

 

Went with Magpul xtm enhanced FDE rail covers and purchased (3) boxes so I had enough plus extras so I could use them on both side rails of my Troy industries quad rail .it took (4) covers on the l/side and (3) on the r/side . Did it this way so I could have room on the r/side front for a light

I also used Magpul FDE ladder rail covers on the upper and lower rails and between both the XTM enhanced and ladder covers the quad rail really looks awesome and also feels very comfortable


Not only did I do those mods I also swapped out my black Magpul Moe+grip or #mag416-blk for a fde Magpul K2+grip #mag532-fde and that really made the rifle look very nice . Next mod might be a fde Magpul ACL stock to replace the black Magpul ACL stock I bought when I purchased my AR a few months back

Will have pics posted soon !!

 

Nice set up you've got there !! , what collapsible stock is that ?? Doesn't look like Magpul

 

here it is with the Magpul FDE XTM rail covers , FDE ladders , Magpul pistol grip and vertical grip . the open space on that side rail is for the tactical flash light mount


with this set up i've got more than enough storage area between the forward grip ,pistol grip and stock

 

Never heard of mounting the VFG on a 45 deg mount !!

 

That's exactly what I'm trying to do is make my AR as light as possible and using only Magpul components . I am however running a Troy industries 7" quad rail and this allows plenty of options for optics, grips or lights but again keeping the total weight down

I might change up the rail covers some and may remove the upper/lower ladder rail covers and go with more FDE Magpul XTM covers . Also looking at a Magpul XTM offset light mount on the r/front of the quad rail


Just by adding those XTM covers the quad rail feels a lot more comfortable . What I really like is the Magpul ACL stock as the cheek rest is very comfortable and Magpul makes pads to increase comfort . A plus is the storage compartment makes for a nice area to store needed items

 

Never heard of co witnessed night vision !! , but have seen the use of multi-power magnifiers like Eotech or similiar style magnifier behind a night vision scope .I've got a friend with a set up like this so he can protect his cattle from mtn lions at night


Now something you
may want to do which I'm thinking of doing is going to another style Magpul stock like goingfrom my Magpul ACS-L stock to their newer PRS series . The PRS is popular with the AR10 platform and has adjustable LOP , adjustable cheek rest and butt pad plus a storage compartment

Mako also makes a really nice collapsible stock called their GL mag survival stock , this is a really nice stock that has a storage area to hold a loaded magazine

 

If it feels anything like that pos AFG or thumb over rail grip then no thanks . I'm an old Marine that doesn't like change and the vertical foregrip in its original position feels the best for me and 2nd to that the mag well grip
