Something I brought up in the other thread:

This makes me wonder if you have enough grip on the weapon for the AFG to serve as a reference and your support hand thumb would 'clamp' down on the 3 o' clock or 9 o' clock rail (for a lefty or righty, respectively), and if doing so would defeat the purpose of the grip.

Thoughts?

But then here comes a slew of new stuff that will sell out in two days and again disapper to come back God knows when.

You do realize that Magpul themselves are a design group and actually manufacturers next to nothing and farms everything out right?

Whelp I was wrong about that, disregard.

To my knowledge Magpul is pretty much caught up and delivering everything they make.

Companies cannot rest on their past successes to propel them into the future. The AR market is a fickle one and you have to innovate to capture the consumers interest.

This is what Magpul does best.

This is one of the only magpul products I am not sure about. It isn't a bad product I am just not sure if it will fit my shooting style. That being said, I still intend to try one out and see how it works for me.

Hmmm Wait. What is up with that CTR stock on that gun. It that a new cam scheme or a custom job?

This. Other than the BAD Lever and a couple unreleased products, you can pretty easily get anything we make.

Did I get something right for once?

Nick, would any of y'all be able to answer my prior question about the AFG? (Whether or not the arm must be fully extended for said 'biometric benefits'...)
