View Full Version : Magpul, new product announcement inside!
First off I want to thank everyone for understanding our position on minimizing the release of info on NEW and upcoming products. We’ve been working like mad men on several new products while publicly flying under the radar about their development. During the coming weeks leading into SHOT Show, Magpul will be releasing several NEW products that have been under development over the past several months. In addition to these there will be several additional NEW products that will be announced at SHOT Show in January.
So, the first of many products to be announced I give you the………
AFG (Angled ForeGrip)
• Retail price $34.95
• Available colors Black, Flat Dark Earth, OD Green and Foliage Green
• Timeline, available in mid December
http://i839.photobucket.com/albums/zz314/Magpul_Industries/AFG_9.jpg
The AFG falls into the category of “Theory Based" products. Simply put, these products are designed to enhance weapon performance and user interface beyond what is currently available. Because these products do not simply replace an existing weapon component, there is an understanding with Theory Based Products that simple plug and play doesn’t apply. They require education by way of instructions, training, and familiarization with the product to become proficient, and only then will the benefits be realized. In addition to the AFG, other products in this category are the B.A.D. Lever, MS2, and ASAP.
The primary difference between the AFG and standard vertical foregrips is weapon controllability. This is a direct result of hand position, grip style and body mechanics. Below is a detailed description of the Theory behind the AFG.

All filled up Fellas. Thanks.
In an effort to receive feedback from the general population on the AFG Magpul would like to offer a T&E AFG to the first 30 posters in this thread. All we ask for in return is that you install the AFG, give it a shot and post pics and opinions on the AFG in the forum. If you’re one of the first 30 posters in this thread and are interested in receiving a free sample and are willing to report on your thoughts send an email to ========= containing the following;
•Actual name
•Address to ship
•Screen name
•email address
•phone number
If the above info is not sent you're name will be removed from the list and the next runner up will have a lucky day. VFG's will be shipping to the participants with in two weeks.
Be warned, if we send you an AFG and you do not post your opinion and pics I will create a voodoo doll and smash it with a pillow.
As a side note, the AFG is the first forward grip we’ve seen that may be used on an AK and not interfere with mag changes due to the low profile. I tried this out at the range the other day with my AK and it was fantastic! AK guys are going to dig this.

IN!
Sounds like an interesting notion!
ETA - The last slide alone is indicative of the ergonomics
I'd like to tinker with this thing if I'm able to T&E it, possibly place a pressure switch on or something like that for a light....Very exciting, I'm glad we get an opportunity like this :cool:
Absolutely! Email sent! I also like the textured XTM panels...
Oh hell yes. Email inbound.
Drake's thread implies more new products, if you guys need more stuff to be T&E...I work for free ahahah :D
Damn! I don't have a rifle to put it on. Figures the way 2009 has gone for me though (ongoing custody battle, the lawyers took all my money!). :\ Good luck to the next guy though! :)

I'm up for some T&E on that! I chopped my TD vfg into a "rifle nipple" after Dynamic Carbine 1 so this might be just the ticket. Not sure if I'm in under the wire or not but I will send an email.
ETA: all filled up! If I made it in, great, if not thanks for the offer and cool of ya'll to solicit user input.
I wouldn't mind trying one!
Would love to try it. As long as you don't mind a lefty taking a shot at it.

I don't know you might have made it Titleist.
Has anybody got a E-mail response back yet?
Knowing my luck my E-mail got lossed or blocked because it came from a Hotmail account.
I really like the concept of this grip.

Nothing on my end. He did say first 30 posters i this thread, so who knows. I'm looking to get one either way and try it out.
No response and I was second on the thread to post a reply. This is great, get this thing and a SA 1911 PRO right before christmas :D
Damnit!!!! I should have skipped dinner!!!!!! I knew something like this was coming when I saw a few pics of Travis with a blurr under his weapon. Great job once again guys! I was at a gun show this weekend and I shouldered an M4 and people were looking at me like I never picked up a gun before when they saw my hand positioning of my support hand. I guess some will understand but most will not. I got $35 for one when they are available. :cool:

I know I'm too late, but this looks like a great idea.

I am looking to change/upgrade some of the furniture and hardware on my rifle in the next month or two so this is great timing for this AFG to come out.
I would think if you know you are not in the first 30 (any post past #31) that sending emails would just be a hassle to the OP.
its in poor taste to say the least.
What a concept: modern weapon components designed with biomechanics in mind. :eek:
Outstanding idea. Good on you guys at Magpul for doing this.
Edit: K, 'cause I can't leave well enough alone. Does the AFG require that your arm be fully extended? I have fairly long arms, and if this is going on a carbine or shorter rifle then it would be next to impossible to have full arm extension. 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.

Can I just buy one????:eek::)

I woul dike to try one... sound like a cool compromise between the vert and holding the rail
I'm going to wait. I am sure that I'll get a chance to see one run and try it out at HVWM in February. I'm sure MP will talk me into all kinds of stuff I don't know I need then.

More like 32 or 33, a few of the posts (mine included) are just posts of happiness haha
Interesting idea. I've got an MI AK rail with a light at 9 o'clock. This looks like it might work in lower my hand and put my thumb in line with the light better instead of above it. I'll be interested to see where this product goes.
yugo308guy
12-02-09, 07:18
Good luck, sounds like an interesting idea.
Wow, I've actually been debating building something like this for a while. To bad I missed the beta test.
My 2cents worth is a smoother version without finger grips would give you a nice platform for shooting off barriers/bags etc. much like a tapered forend on a MCM A2. You could raise/lower by moving the rifle forwards/backwards. Looks like you'd be getting hung up as it is now.
Despite all the bitching from the community about vaporware. Getting info to the community as soon as posible will give you more feedback and help make better products.

Innovative...
Ever since I saw the stance that is being taught by Magpul Dynamics I wondered if and when they would come up with some sort of fore grip.
One thing is for certain, with that price point they won't be able to keep them in stock.

Now I'm going to have to build an AR similar to this! lol I drink the magpul koolaid, and it tastes wonderful.
I will say the same thing I did on another thread!
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 camo scheme or a custom job?
Custom job. Travis said it was done using that water transfer method. Don't freak out...yet. :D

I was on the fence with the idea too. Then I held a rifle with the AFG. It is such a natural, intuitive feeling. I really dig it. My shooting style adapted to the product. If anything, the AFG helped me get the right positioning on the rifle without thinking about it a lot (I am not what you might call a seasoned AR shooter, my background was in sporting clays and other shotgun fun) Try it out, I know you'll love it.
And just in case people are wondering who the heck I am, I'm the Magpul Graphics guy.:D

These photos actually give me a much clearer view of it and I am already re-evaluating my opinion. The angle is better than I thought and it looks to give good support. I will be getting at least 1 to test out.

I'm looking forward to seeing a review of the AFG mounted on a 7" rail. Seems like it might get a little cramped but I hold out hope. :D
And just in case people are wondering who the heck I am, I'm the Magpul Graphics guy.:D

Looks awesome! Looking forward to testing it out on several different rifles. Thanks for the chance to take an early look at what looks to be a great concept. Is the angle adjustable or is it fixed?
Seems to address what I find lacking in the handstop.
Sell 'em soon!
I'm sure Drake or someone from Magpul will address the ones who will have the chance to do the T&E. I'm very excited and look forward to seeing this product in the future whether its T&E or on a retail shelf somewhere. I checked around and it seems like no other forum has gotten the opportunity that we got :D

Observations:
1. I think that this is a really interesting advancement in forend grips, but I think it is only the first in an evolution in forends that are more ergonomic.
2. Travis needs a manicure.

This looks cool... It means I should really get some rails on my rifle;)
Has anyone heard whether this will be a rail-only accessory or if it'll work with their MOE handguard, too?
CaptainDooley
12-03-09, 07:52
I've seen a pic (in the thread in AR GD here) of one on a piece of bolt-on rail on an MOE. $35 looks like the going rate (according to DrDrake in the first post of this thread)
Yeah, I saw the pricing after I posted. I'll look for that pic - thanks! I really like the MOE HG for my non-railed carbines.

hey travis when will these be avail to the public? i liked the idea ever since i saw it at the houston class. my sr-15 needs one i think. lol.
So is a tape switch enabled light more important with the AFG than before? Why do I ask? Won't one of the benefits of the AFG be keeping your hand in the same place? That leads me to believe, without having used one yet, that the benefits of keeping your hand in the same place would make activating the light on an offset mount a bit more difficult.
Thoughts?

Don't think so stay with clicky cap with thumb. This will also help in reach the clicky with opposite hand, if light is up high enough.
I'm really digging the look and functionality of this thing.
So, any idea on full market availability or is this a T&E prior to final engineering and production?

Interesting for sure.
In light of several comments floating around the web on different forums reference the AFG I'm tossing the below up in a few places.
Clarification;
Let me make it perfectly clear. Our intent is not to replace your VFG with an AFG. Our intent is to bring a new concept to market, push the boundaries of design and fill a void in the forward grip market. Some might argue that we're creating the "void" and this is all a marketing hype product. Have we ever done that with any product? We will continue to stand by our products and the theories behind them.
Fan Boys;
We have fan boys and hey, hats off, we love them. But don't ever think we build products for the FB's. They want the best products money can buy just like Mil, LE, casual shooters and competition shooters. Can you blame them? We build real world, high quality, boundary pushing kit period. No hype, no BS.

Let the haters hate, you guys make great products.
I second what Ak44 said. YOu guys do great work!
Are people really bitching about the AFG?
Hell, the weekend before this thread was posted, I dropped $85 on a stubby VFG. And to think those dirty "void makers" at Magpul were going to release an option for waaaaay less than that. Dirty dirty Magpul and their innovation and cheap prices! (sarcasm by the truckload, btw.)
People will gripe about nearly anything on the internet... even a free lunch. Don't let 'em get to ya. Just keep making cool stuff with good logic behind it and I'll keep buying it. I'm not sure how much Magpul stuff you have to have to be considered a fanboi, but my rifles are decked out in the stuff. I coulda bought something different, but the first set of Magpul stuff I bought worked great, I didn't see a reason to try anything else.
I love your stuff!

Drake- Does Travis let out an evil scientist "Mu-hu-huu-haaa" laugh when he comes up with these things?
Once you meet Travis in person and listen to his "cross-training" between combat and competition combined with his study of biomechanics and you'll understand where MS2, ASAP and AFG come in. This is not big chrome rims on a chevette.
Kudos to Magpul for keeping prices real. You guys do a nice job of coming up with cutting edge stuff at Wal-mart prices, all made here in the US. No disrespect to the KAC guys, but their version would have been $200.
A question on light placement? With the AFG, for a right handed person, where would you suggest putting a tail cap light? For reference, where do you guys run your lights with the AFG?
AFG looks very interesting. I'm looking forward to it.

Everything I have ever bought from Magpul has been worth the wait and the price.
(and this is coming from a man that stretches a dollar until the eagle screams)
LOL - nothing like you guys busting your asses for 20 years, and then becoming an "overnight success", huh? ;)
I CANNOT WAIT! either way i think its a great option..

Ha! As I was reading your comment I couldn't help but think of Sméagol and Gollum:
Gollum: "Too risky, Too risky. Thieves! They stole It from us. Kill them, kill them, kill them both!"
Gollum: "Shhh! Quiet! Mustn't wake them! Mustn't ruin it now!"
Sméagol: "But they knows! They knows! They suspects us!"
Gollum: "What's it saying, my precious, my love? Is Sméagol losing his nerve?"
Sméagol: "No! Not! Never! Sméagol hates nasty hobbitses! Sméagol wants to see them… dead!"
:D
I'm buying an AFG when it comes out! If Grant or Rainier had a waiting list, I'd be on it.
Crap! I've been bitching and moaning about having to pay for a stubby to half ass do just this! (I'm a 260 lb gorilla so the little "hand stops" are not an option.) Now I missed my chance to T&E what appears to be JUST what I wanted all along! Esp since I just threw a ODG MOE hand gaurd on my carbine.
Anyone getting a list together to prepay order these?

The haters can blow me. If there's a hater out there that still got on the T&E list then I'll take there's. **** 'em.
Ok, so maybe I'm a Kool-aid drinker but, the folks at Magpul never cease to amaze me.
I own a couple of products and will be buying more. As you guys know, the quality is awesome but what is equally engaging about the company is the obvious approachability of the folks that work there, the demeanor of Chris and Travis in the delivery of training (I've only seen the vids but liked how they engage the students) and the fact that these guys are on these forums showcasing new goods and seeking the opinions of the folks who field their products.
Magpul stuff works, it's high quality and the staff are top notch.:)
Great job, guys!
Piss on all those haters! We the fan boys buy good quality equipment. If they keep making gear that works and last, then why not buy it. I do not own everything they have made because it does meet my needs or I do not need it. But if I does, then I buy it.
Keep it up Magpul.
Has anybody seen or heard who made the list for the T&E?????????????????
FYI....I pre-ordered an AFB from Shelton Stone of Advanced Tactical Solutions.
$34.95 He might have them by next week!!!

Really looking forward to this. I like the KAC handstop on my DDM4, but the "kink" it puts in my wrist doesn't make for much fun after a while. This looks like a much more ergonomic solution.:D

Not I. He did also say that it'll take two weeks til we get it. I think it will just show up. Plus it looks like this offer was on other forums, so who knows.

Shelton said 2 weeks at the most but was hoping for next week sometime.
He did say that he has several pre-orders already.
i think any and every magpul dealer will have these within the next few weeks.
Looks great! Thanks for making this product Magpul. Order placed.
Any word on the T&E people yet? If I'm one of the T&E folks, I'm looking at signing up for a Carbine class specifically to test it out. I guess I'll just start saving my pennies until I find out otherwise.

I was in too, but I haven't heard anything either... I figure they are just swamped doing the launch of it. If it shows up great, if not, nothing lost, I will just buy one.

Alright Fellas. I just received confrimation that all sample AFG's were shipped yesterday. Most of you should receive them by Friday with some of the local guys taking delivery today. PO box address will arrive Sat or Mon.
Per the instructions in the original thread http://m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=42414 please let us know what you think of the AFG in this thread.http://m4carbine.net/showthread.php?p=518852#post518852 Pics would be great. I don't expect guys to instantly dump info. Post in here that you have received the package and give yourself a chance to make it to the range and try it out. If you can't make it to the range try some dry drills in your man space. All comments are welcome good, bad or ugly. Thanks guys.

Got my conformation as well. Thanks Dr. Drake. :cool: I'll attach it as soon as it comes in and head to the range ASAP!
Looks like I wasn't one of the lucky ones with a confirmation. Oh well, I'll pick one up after the holidays. Can't wait to see people's reaction to these.
Hell yeah! I guess I did make it.
Got the confirmation number.
Thanks Drake and Magpul for the great products and service.
Yep, Just got home and recieved my confirmation as well!!!!!!! Thanks Magpul, Can't wait to try it out!!!!!
got mine today.
I was going to try it on my MOE handguards but my rail pices havent arrived yet.
It doesnt fit on my RRA half-quad FFT on my middy, its too long for the rail, hits the curved handguard portion before the front has cleared the bayo lug.
My first impression is actually that it is much thicker than I expected.
Once I get the rails on the MOE I'll post about it in the proper thread.

Ok Magpul, here is a suggestion:
How about a version of this that bolts directly to the MOE with little nubbs that match the holes in the bottom of the MOE for a solid lock-up?
No rail required!

sounds great, and the sides could blend in, doesnt look like thats gonna happen from here.
or...................
a bottom MOE handguard that has the AFG built in :D

Can someone please verify that you can mount the AFG further back on the rail? The AFG is not restricted to being at the very front of the gun's rail, correct?
You can place it anywhere on the rail. It doesn't have to be so foreward, but feels better foreward for me.

How much farther back do you want it to go the AFG takes up a quite a bit of rail space. I have mine installed on a carbine KAC ras I has 2 slots left to go farther back.
Feedback goes here>http://m4carbine.net/showpost.php?p=519887&postcount=15
Drake started a thread for our feedback on the AFG...

I pre-ordered one in FDE and am twitching with anticipation!!
Sparky
Sparky,
Where did you pre-order from? Has anyone seen pre-orders in FDE? I have only seen black.
Brownell's now has all colors of AFGs in stock!
Random question, does anyone have the sky diving ACR picture found in one of the PDF's in full color at the high resolution instead of it being filtered lighter? Page 83.
