BeatTheTunaUp 65 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I decided to take the bipod and 6x scope off my s308 and go with a pka-venezuelan instead. I don't really like the pistol grips on the front. Has anyone used a Magpul Angled grip on their Saiga? Impressions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nsnate02 32 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I use one on my Draco SBR because I like a compact forearm grip. I'm not a big fan of the over extended front arm that is so popular with the 3 gunners of late. It gives me a similar grip as if I was gripping the mag as a hold but let's me get a bit further out and I have a more stable base. Also doesn't interfere with mag changes since I run the grip as far back as possible. Even the stubby fore grips, I had to move too far forward for my liking just to clear the mag on mag changes.

XD45 7,124 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yep I use them on a few different things. I find them very comfortable and natural. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jwulf 179 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I use one on the AR and like it. Once I put a different forearm on the S-12 I plan on putting one on it also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EthanM 514 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) I have a couple. Their very comfortable and works perfect for me. Edited November 8, 2013 by Ethan M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Road Warrior 8 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I bought the Magpul AFG2 (smaller version of the AFG) for an AR I have and found it to be too small. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeatTheTunaUp 65 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Sounds good. Thanks for the feedback I went ahead and ordered the PTK grip.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AAGLS8W/ref=pe_385040_30332200_pe_309540_26725410_item I liked that it gave an extra storage space and I liked the texture better. We'll see Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We'll see I have one and found it more comfortable than the Magpul. Kind of an odd looking thing, but I simply shot anyone that made fun of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squishy 1,149 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I use the Gen 1 model on both my Saigas and my MAK90 and I like them better than anything else I've used (VFG-wise). Here's another variation on the theme by Strike Industries; Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I used too.. takes up a lot of real estate.. and don't really do anything a shorty won't do... BUT... you can put the AFG on a pistol-length weapon and NOT need an NFA stamp. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
misterT 174 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I was never in favor of fore grips untill i put a drum on the S12 then you really need one to compensate for the long reach around the drum. I first tried a vertical grip and did not like it AT ALL. The Magpul felt much more natural and was just enough. Though others prefer a vertical grip, I would suggest trying one of each before buying if you can. You could also try mocking something up maybe out of wood to see which feels more natural to you.

BpS12 512 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I've gone thru several VFGs and found the AFG more comfortable and less in the way on both my bullpup builds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

corbin 621 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Here's my Gen 1 on a Saiga 12. I really like it. I have a Gen 2 on my SUB - 9. Yeah, I know the grips are missing in the picture. LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Razorback 72 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 AFG and the drum do work well together. I use the drum and AFG with the stock extended, and the VFG/light/laser with the stock folded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
montec 164 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I have the AFG 2 PTS version on my S12. I like it but I have yet to find that ideal spot for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
