Ok ladies, here's the latest incarnation of my BB blaster!
The optic is a cheap BSA 4x32. It provides the same magnification of an ACOG, but with a larger Eyepiece. I now have the option of either it or my Aimpoint. Right tool for the job, bros!
The foregrip is a homemade unit inspired by a post on the Lightfighter Stud Board. I cut the top off a TM grip and bolted it to a 1" scope ring. It holds my Surefire very nicely. It's ugly as hell, but feels nicer than my old knights-style grip due to the larger diameter of the grip. I have a tape switch installed, but I have the option of simply using the tailcap switch and pressing it with my thumb.
Q: Why the need for such a design you ask?
A: 1)I like my grip forward because it's more comfortable with my long arms, and it gives the weapon better balance with accessories mounted on the forward rail.
2) I like my light on the bottom to avoid strange shadows and because I have my AN/PEQ2 on the right. I don't like accessories mounted on the left, because it can interfere with slings and catch on my kit. The only spot left is underneath. (I cannot use an under-gun barrel mount because I sometimes run my barrel in the CQB-R configuration)
Dilemna::cry: I can't have my vertical grip where I like it when I am using a light.
Solution::idea: Make a grip that holds a light! TA-DA!
I also added a Guarder Mod Stock to hold surefire and Aimpoint batteries. It's a copy of the VLTOR Modstock, so I call it my "MVLTOR stock", in honor of my fallen archrival. (Perhaps I will adorn it with a replica of Multor's head, known to many as the Duraflex ROCK LOCKSTER.) It is very well-built replica, and is spot-on in comparison with Ganef's VLTOR unit (except his is a clubfoot).
Enjoy!
