Sike Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 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.

Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted July 17, 2012 Supporters Share Posted July 17, 2012 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnno Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted July 17, 2012 Supporters Share Posted July 17, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnno Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 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. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UTG-Weaver-Model...=item35bbde7a63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
