Topic: C7A2 Foregrip?

[Brihard]

Nope, our unit just got C7A2 and no foregrips.  No talks of recieving any in the near future either.  Although I have seen them on about 50% of the rifles at Connaught.

We seem to be sitting about half and half too.

American M4s and M16s have a KAC RAS, which I'm pretty sure isn't free floating....

That's right. Floating means that they're totally seprate and don't contact the barrel (or any part thereof) so that accessories/grips don't "pull" on the barrel. I've never really noticed it a problem, the only time I could see a real difference is if you had a rail mounted M203 or a bipod. KAC rails are relatively inexpensive and will do the job; and most CoC don't mind them; as it makes things like PEQs harder to lose. Never personally owned one (though I know lots of guys that do), but they seem very very practical.

KAC rails are relatively inexpensive

As opposed to what?

In the world of pop-in style RASs, the M5 KAC is pretty well at the top of the price scale and in fact many respectable free float RASs can be had for less.

That being said, I still bought a set.

I meant "in the big scheme of things", sorry if that wasn't clear. It's the same price as a weekend at the bars.
