Do you run your BCM VFG backwards?

[Eurodriver]

There's irony in a match fag calling someone a faggot.

Its incredible. I beat them 100 times out of 100 and they still talk mad shit.

Upon googling it, apparently theres like a huge fanbase of people who run it backwards.

Of course they are probably just a bunch of idiots who care more for IG likes than impacts, but I try to stay open to new ideas in order to remain proficient.

Reddit is full of ADD grade trendy bullshit. The EE is good, though. I don’t prefer VGs in general except on very short guns, but when I use them I do it the normal non-AK way. Or use one that is actually vertical.

Frankly I never knew that was backwards.
I run them, backwards, on a couple 14.5” guns and a couple AKs.
For me, it’s simply easier to lock the support hand in.

I've tried it both ways. I kinda expected to like it angled forwards since I quite like the similarly angled grip on Romanian AKs, but for some reason, it never sticks. To each their own. Can't say I've ever seen anyone trolling about how a gun is set up, but ignoring them and running it in the way that seems best for you would seem to be a good response.

Yep. Same here, figured I’d like it angled forward because of my previous experience with the Romy AK foregrip but the BCM always felt most “correct” when angled rearward so that’s how I settled on using them.

Of course now I’m sort of getting away from VFGs on ARs entirely. For awhile I was putting them on everything but now the only ARs I still have them on are a couple of carbines that also permanently wear lights with tail cap switches.

My TD relieves me of the misery of self doubt.

Yeah, but is it the stubby?

Kind of my original point, I thought it was designed/intended to be reversible to suit individual preference, but what do I know.

Stubby QD, now I have a gnawing doubt, at least it's vertical lol.

[Stickman]

the guys who do it seem to have some sort of ego issues because they constantly talk about how awesome it is to run them backwards

Who specifically said this? Please post a link.

I run mine at 3 o'clock....gangsta style...lol

Back to topic....I run mine angled forward but I can see those who run it backwards might like it as a handstop

[Five_Point_Five_Six]

It's 2022 and dudes are really out here making multi-directional vertical foregrips their whole personality.

FWIW I run mine with the angle sloping rearward.
