Changing The Set-Up Of My Gun / Gun Pictures... Obviously

[Street Wolf]

Figured I can always put the red dot and foregrip back on anytime I wanted if needed for the shoothouse.

Still need to get a bi-pod, remove the front sight even though it doesn't get in the way, it's still going, etc....

Oh yeah, and no mag because we were loading one round at a time, before anyone mentions it.

That is a lot of scope for a CQB carbine.

What is the advantage of the forward grip like that? Admittedly, all my experience was in the military with a basic select-fire M16 (funny, but I even remember my guns butt number - 176). That experience has not translated to a civilian hobby, and much has obviously changed in the last 10+ years.

I can see the advantage of the new style slings that keep the weapon in a more supported and ready position, but I am seeing so many civilian carbines with more accessories bolted on than a SEMA truck

Indeed, handles it extremely well however.

It's almost no use with the scope. Though like I mentioned up until today I had the red dot sight mounted on the rail and the grip was very useful. I've heard of it referred to as a 'ergo grip' as well by some. Guess it's suppose to me more ergonomically correct, but I find it's just a much more stable and comfortable way to hold the weapon.

The forward grip helps keep your hand away from the forearm which can get very hot in sustained fire.
