    Skinny handguards for stock Colt LE6920

    Didnt like the fatter handguard of the stock Colt LE6920.

    When I went thumping around the gun shops on a day off found these take off handguards. Got them home and wow, cant get the stock ones off. (tight D-Ring). I just wasn't hold my tongue right haha.



    folding grip and rail


    rail and grip on

    Looks its Elton John's aborted fetus!

    ETA: What was your intended purpose of this thing? Not sure why you wouldn't have gone with a Magpul MOE Handguard and Magpul MOE Vertical Grip.

    Try looking at the changes and figure it out.
    Went smaller, why suggest larger? Cosmetically that handguard looks like shit. And when I picked one up, it felt like shit.
    Went folder why suggest fixed? Like the versatility

    Your time on this forum will be painful with you attitude.
    My friendly suggestion to you would be to post less and read more.
    There is so much great information in the sticky threads at the top of each subforum.
    You bought a great AR, don't accessorize it with Chinese made junk that may fail you.

    They are illigetimate weapons that have no real purpose other than to attract retards to the gun community.

    There is no versatility in the foldable VFG. It will most likely break when you need it, and when it is folded it's just a gigantic mass on the bottom that gets in the way of everything. If you like it, good for you, but call it what it is. I can't blame you for not wanting the MOE handguards though.

    Don't hammer the new guy

    The guy did something a little different, let it be. How many times have YOU changed the hand guards on a gun? Maybe he is not going into COMBAT today and does't need the tactical ninja stuff right now.

    It's very unfortunate that this sight has gotten so negative towards people that do something a little different and is not the cookie cutter AR-15's that are in the picture threads.

    Please don't let this sight go the way of AR15.com.

    To the OP. Go run the crap out of that colt! If you like your set up run with it. If you don't then change it. It's as simple as that.

    Until that day,

    Right or wrong, black or white. Cross that line, your gonna pay, but in the dawn before the light, we live or die by shades of gray.

    What are you talking about?

    A folding "tactical" grip is useless, and if it hurts someones feelings when I say so, tough.


    Did you stop to think that there is a reason why people that know what they are doing tend to set their rifles up a certain way, because it is the best way?

    what's the purpose of a folding grip? one more moving part

    What does that even mean? My sex doll's legs/arms fold up to allow for quick and easy storage. Now THAT'S versatility.

    Have read though them, and I'm not the one that goes for all the gadgets. As for the chinese junk, it did me well in Bosnia and Kosovo. The folder for my arm length feels the most comfortable folded and used as a low grip. For the attitude, oh well, the people know where the ignore button is. When I look though the setups of the guys/gals and see them with shit that weighs more than the weapon itself, I move on. I have the respect to allow the people to do what they want without harassment. I don't mind criticism, CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.

    Very good words of wisdom! This model is the exact I had while I was in Bosnia and Kosovo, other than the GOVT replaced by LE stamping. Did me well there and will do me well in the future.

    Maybe in your experience it's useless. With my experience it works for me, and THAT is all the matters.

    Did you stop to think that the cookie-cutter way don't work for everyone. I have seen many times guys have useless paperweights because they ran out of batteries for the cutesy toys. Best one was that a guy took a sharpie and marked his Eotech lens because he left his carrying handle back at base and didn't have sights. His shortcoming was that he didn't have BUIS.
    Next time need not ASSUME that the person don't know what they are doing.

    Most the time I keep it folded up and used as a low grip. As for versatility, I was able to use it when I ****ed up my elbow jumping over the wall chasing Serbs as a mono-pod when I extended it. With a simple twist, it is locked into either position.
