Fitting Real Foregrips to MGC M4 Carbine

Post by Madmike

Here is a small review about replacing the foregrips on the MGC M4. This is a really great and realistic modelgun and one of my favourites. But as Mark already said the small diameter M16A2 Carbine (M-725) foregrips just do not look right on the later M4.
I found some real M4 foregrips at a gun show recently. They are propably a no-name product and thus rather cheap. But as I did not know if they´ll fit my modelgun, I did not mind.

On the left you can see the new, oval shaped handguards with black steel heat shield. On the right there are the tubular shaped original MGC grips without heat shield.
To my surprise these grips fit without ANY modification. Another thing is that they add some extra weight due to the heat protection steel inlay.
Here is the M4 with original grips:

And here is the same gun with real fore grips:

I think the gun looks and feels more realistic now. I like the dull black finish of the grips. They feel very sturdy. It was an easy and cheap (I got the new grips for about 15 USD) modification. Please note that I do not know if all real M4 grips fit to the MGC M4 without modification.

Looks good and a great price best of all no modification needed, stronger to i would think with that metal plate

Lookin great MadMike!

I will have to remove my M4 hand guards from my AR15 and try them on my MGC and see if they fit. Unfortunately, I didn't get the great price on my set so, until I find a cheaper pair to buy, I don't think that I will leave my M4's on it.
