What’s the difference between the Magpul AFG and AFG-2?

The AFG-2 is a more compact, streamlined version of the original AFG. It’s better suited for shorter handguards and tighter setups while maintaining similar functionality.

Can I use a Magpul AFG on an M-LOK rail?

Only the M-LOK AFG is designed for direct M-LOK attachment. The original AFG and AFG-2 require a Picatinny rail for mounting.

Is an angled foregrip better than a vertical grip?

Angled grips like the Magpul AFG allow a more natural wrist position and support modern shooting techniques like the C-clamp grip, improving recoil control and target acquisition.

Are Magpul AFGs legal to use on AR pistols?

In most states, yes — angled foregrips do not classify a pistol as an 'Any Other Weapon' under ATF rules. However, laws can vary, so check your local regulations.
