I picked one up this past weekend at a gun show and I do think it's an improvement over the original. It feels more like a natural part of the gun rather than an awkward-shaped thing attached to the rail. It weighs a little less due to the loss of the wings and the shorter footprint, but maintains almost the same gripping surface for your hand, and the streamlined profile makes it usable on many more systems without the need to modify it. The nub at the back side is slightly longer and at a sharper angle so my hand feels less likely to slide back toward me. Overall, a solid evolution to the product.

That looks nice and clean. I have been running a AFG on my SBR for some time now with a Larue rail. I ended up taking a dremel to the 'ears' and made mine slimmer, like many others have done. Glad to see Magpul continuing to lead and listen to customer feed back.
I just mounted one on my new DD 12.0 OmegaX FSp rail - feels very nice, and allows rearward pressure OR forward grip. I'm just not sure whether to leave on the A2 tit or go smooth - byut I have the option. Feels wonderful compared to a vert grip for me.

I'd like to try it on my minimalist Colt 6920. What do I need to get to attach it to the carbine's thick heatshield?
in all honestly, an AFG is not very good on a carbine handguard, you really need a longer handguard to make full use of it.
Dude... Its about grip, chandling a gun. Not 'bout lenght of the handguard.
Oops!

I agree with the above that the new AFG is a nice improvement over the older. I also agree that a carbine length hand guard is too short to make good use of the AFG (YMMV). In fact, I think a mid length MOE hand guard is a tad short for a AFG, but can be used if desired.
