I'm glad to see an option that accounts for this direct attachment method, without modification.
    I also have been using modified Magpul MVG's on my rifles for a while now. These Unity vfg's are perfect; short, light, easy mounting system for a wide array of handguards, no needless storage and, when mounted on my Troy Alpha handguards, feels like part of the handguard itself. I also have no use for a QD option.

    Ordered one in the hopes I can mount it to the underside of my Midwest Industries Gen2 SS Series free floater. Have been searching for something like this since I built my AR and instead of compromising on something else I didn't really want, I just went without. High hopes that my search stops here.

    Good to see them out there in the wild. Great little VFG.

    I know some users should be getting their VFG today or tomorrow. I just wanted to update everyone here with a quick note about installing the VFG on Keymod Rails. We sent this out via an email blast but I wanted to put it here as well.

    If you are installing the VFG on a Keymod rail, please pay attention to the torque you apply.

    Standard install should be between 10-15 in-lbs.
    This may vary slightly due to the threadlocker patch on the screw.

    To achieve this with the included wrench, install the Keymod hardware and hand tighten until you just eliminate any wiggle in the VFG, and then tighten one more 1/4 - 1/2 turn.

    This is to avoid over-tightening the VFG that may cause damage to the Keymod interface.

    Thank you

    Looking forward to getting mine. Won't be able to post pics here. It's not going on an AR. :P

    Mine are supposed to arrive tomorrow, if I have time I'll mount a few and give my early impressions. I think I'll like them.

    Disregard my last post.

    Mine are inbound. I'll post some pics if stupid tapatalk lets me.

    Got it to mount up to a CMR, NSR and M-LOK EMR like it was made for all of them which I guess it basically is. Includes backplate and 10-32 screw for tubular/M-LOK rails, 8-32 screw for CMR, and a Keymod nut setup. Not sure there's a more universal part out there for 25 bucks. I'll probably keep it on the CMR for now and see how it goes.

    eta: This thing is tiny... 1oz by itself on the scale. No noticeable weight difference with it on any of the rails.

    Thought I'd post a quick update. Received the VFG - great little foregrip, exactly what I was looking for. However, mounting options for this VFG are slightly limited on the MI Gen2 SS Series when coupled with an M4 profile barrel, which in my case threw a wrench in the works.

    The great part about the hardware sent with the VFG is that the 10-32 screw is a match with the threaded mounting holes of the hand guard. Awesome. This simplifies the mounting process as long as your desired mounting position falls on one of the rear three (closer to magwell) of the available six mounting holes along the bottom of the hand guard. However, because of the length of the above-mentioned screw and the thickness of the M4 profile barrel in places, the three forward-most (toward muzzle) mounting holes are a no-go unless you either cut the screw down to a workable length OR you stack multiple washers between the head of the screw and the VFG. Otherwise, the screw will terminate in contact with the underside of the barrel or gas block prior to achieving full torque. I am doubly screwed (pun intended), as my desired mounting position falls on the hole that lies directly under the gas block, which means I will have to either stack about 6 or 8 washers inside the VFG to get a correct length on the working end of the screw, or I'll have to cut it.

    Not a deal breaker. I'll cut the screw down and my new vertical grip will attach in the Goldilocks zone of my hand guard.

    For those who choose to cut down the screw, just be mindful of the threads. One option could be to screw on the backer nut all the way down, cut the end of the screw off, then back the nut off the screw with some pliers and an allen key. This would straighten up any screw threads that might've been interrupted when sawing/grinding.

    Additionally, the backer nut works well, though depending on the mounting position, you'll still be dealing with the too-long screw issue.
