    Where to place a forward grip??

    I just got in my Innovative Arms integrally suppressed forend for the CZ scorpion I just SBR'd. It's the "K" model and its awesome!

    I knew before I bought it that all the M-lok rails except the ones closer to the receiver are blocked by the heat shield so you can only utilize the rear most slots.

    Since this is a pretty new can I can't find any examples online of one with a grip attached and am hoping someone may have one of these and could tell me what they are doing for a forward grip!

    Thanks!!

    ETA: here are pictures. It's a little hard to see but the only usable slot on the bottom is the rearmost. The dimples you see are where I tried, unsuccessfully, to attach a forward grip anyways:

    Don't know about a forward grip, but I would definitely put a hand stop at the front of the handguard.

    Unfortunately that's not an option. The two forward most slots are completely unusable... I'm just curious what, if anything, others with the same setup are doing.

    If there's absolutely no room for the m-lok nuts up front, your only option will be the next slot back. The rear of the second slot looks usable.

    ETA you may need to shorten the screws so they don't touch the barrel/suppressor.

    You know you have those extended safeties on backwards right?
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Yeah, they are backwards... I'm still trying to adjust to the safety situation with this gun and so far this angle is kinda working but not really... I think if you are used to the AK platform and it's safety you can probably walk right into this platform but if not there is a learning curve. The original safety is terrible and I haven't really found an after-market solution that is ideal so I've been experimenting.

    I can't tell from the angle for sure, but can you just trim the screws on your grip to not hit the heat shield? Otherwise the only way I can think of is to get a picatinny rail tig welded to your handguard

    I put an Arisaka hand stop on mine as far forward as I could on my HB rail.

    Risky idea, but could you get a long section of M-Lok rail, only screw down the rear mounts and then just Old School it? Yeah, it'd be heavier, but the cantilevered rail might give you back some options...
