Lessons learned with the ICS large forgrip
« on: March 25, 2002, 10:06:54 PM »
When they say that the forgrip is designed for a mp5, trust them. I just installed it onto my mc51, and well, it didnt even come close to fitting. After cutting out a fair bit of the top opening, and internal plastic to make it fit around the receiver, I find that a large battery cant fit into it without taking around 1 inch out of the reciever. Not wanting to damage the gun itself, I cut a hole into the front of the grip, and make it so that the battery protudes out of it. THEN I had to add a bunch of hot glue on the inside of the grip so that it didnt wobble like mad. But then again, PART of that was due to the fact that I cut a little *too* much off. But, it would be necessary regardless. Oh the joys.

Well.. it fits, and looks just slightly odd, but it works well overall. I wouldn't personally recommend it if you have a MC51 however, but thats just my opinion. I don't quite know how it would fit onto a mp5, or if you would still have some of the same problems or not.

Lessons learned, sexy gun, lessons learned, sexy gun...

People love disregarding their talents. What they love even more is coveting other people's. Everyone wants to be a rockstar.
Except rockstars.
