New style foregrip/bipod!

I'm down for this when I can cough up the change! Any thoughts?

Seems to be lots of info here and there, but I've never seen it before. Saw it at DefenseReview.com and started digging.

Thats cool! I want one.. I didnt see any price, and also saw that they were not selling any units in "small" quantities.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I just googled it after seeing it, and found them at several places where they are available apparently. If I remember correctly, the polymer one's are about 7oz and $150.00, the aluminum one's (although I did find one in supposed titanium for $250.00 somewhere) are about 11oz and were running either $200.00 or $225.00. They seem to be pretty sweet and there are also threads at AR15.com

There's also a guy selling Chinese knock-offs on E-bay, so be aware.

Thanks for the info GMan. Do you like these either way though? Would you consider one for your AR? Not the knock-off of course.

I'm not a huge fan of vertical foregrips. I would also have to add railed handguards, so it ends up being a $300 investment. I would like a tripod and this design does double duty. Maybe after I buy my EOTech I'll start thinking about something like that.

...or a shotgun or two.
