Exactly. I have one, and most people who I let handle my work rifle to try it out end up trying to grip only the angled portion and wrap their thumb around the back. When I tell them to move their hand all the way forward on the AFG and wrap the thumb around the top of the handguard, there's usually a little light-bulb moment. Not for everyone, but it fills the role I use it for better than anything else I've tried.
