Adding a foregrip to M16A2

[Sike]

hey guys, just wanted to check if this (http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=3479) would allow me to attach a foregrip to the bottom of a M16 handguard.

the reason i ask is that it looks a little to thin.

That's the sort of thing you want. I bought one a while back for my M16, I got it from Ant-Supplies, there are a few different lengths and stuff available.

My main thought with the one you linked is that there don't seem to be any screws included...

"M4 SERIES BOLT-ON RAIL FOR HANDGUARD BASE"

that would work i assume

Not sure TBBH..I have something similar on my M4 but it is the real deal and imported from the USA (it tapers, i.e it is thicker at the front so that the Rail lies level rather than at an angle)

I'd go for something specific to the M16. Hand guards can have different spacing for the holes.

Even with M4s, depending on whether it's front or rear wired the holes can be spaced differently.

Another thing to watch out for is the thickness of your handguard. Sounds odd I know but I bought one of those rails to go on the bottom of my M4A1 and because my handguard is made of quite thick plastic, the screw wasn't long enough to reach all the way down through the hole to the nut on the outside of the guard.

I realise this isn't a huge problem but it's a pain in the butt either trying to find the right size/length screws after finding out they're not long enough, or doing what I did in the end and performing some DIY on the hanguard, beveling out the holes so that the screw can sit lower and connect with the nut. Be warned though that by doing this you do obviously decrease the strength of the plastic so don't tighten them too much!

The one I bought had different lengths of Allen Bolt to cater for the taper and varying thickness of handguard. I bought mine off FleaBay so if you keep your eye open on US Sellers they should pop up now and again.
