C7 Foregrip Handle

Maj. L deS had a Tango Down grip in 2004 that he said during a DLR touchy feely to RotoII guys that they planned to have it "knocked off" (his words where built by) by Fobus as it would be less than 1/4 of the price...

Do you have a DWAN ref for the tech update?

Talk to your unit techs. We all received it at the Tech level to disseminate down to the CQ's......passed it on to the CQ's here today....

They are standard issue to units deploying to the best of my knowledge.....
Since I'll most likely be doing A-Stan in the not too distant future:
Do you guys know the regs on modding your rifle while overseas (especially since this isn't a peacekeeping op)? Or does it depend on the unit? I'll be going with my unit along with a bunch of other guys from 39 Brigade.

My advice to you is not to even worry about it until you get to the unit your assigned to. Ask your section command after he has known you for a couple of months. There is a degree of tolerance for certain modes that are non permanent....get to crazy and you might find your self on charge. It is up to your chain of command to describe the degree of tolerance....

Oh ok, thanks for the info.
This is one of the few deployment opportunities (as I understand it) where we get to go exclusively with our unit and 39 Brigade, under the leadership of our unit. Things aren't completely confirmed yet, but I'm just trying to get ideas to plan ahead. I'll check with our platoon commander though.
Thanks,

A little late, but I just found this thread doing a search.
So Billnye heard a rumour and it must be true cause, well, Billnye heard it.
Within the last 7 years there has only been three mems that have owned their own ar's while in and none of us took any of our personal AR kit into the field.
There was a troop a little while back that machined up a couple of foregrips that were allowed in the field a couple of times. Maybe thats what your informant saw. But pers uppers on issued lowers...I wish.
Perhaps you could be a bit more specific about when and where your guy saw the rifle in question. Maybe he remembers the rank of the owner. Then get back to me. Until then I think you're full of it.
If this was pre98 and you can give me a date and place, I'll check it out. If you're right, I'll apologize.
So you think the Lake Sups are just a bunch of Southern Comfort good old boys eh? Perhaps you could give a couple of examples that you observed where we, "get away with most everything". Get back to me on this also.
The Sups aren't a large unit, Company minus really, but pound for pound I believe we have put as many guys overseas as any other reserve unit. One of our own came home a little earlier than the others on the last rotation.
You don't hear me talking sh*t about your unit. If you've got some facts spit them out. If all you've got are tales then stfu asshat.

Got to play with the new issue Cadex fore grip last weekend. Its a fairly beefy folding grip and came with a small strip of alloy rail that bolts through the vent holes of the plastic and metal hand grip/heat shield. The mount was pretty steady but not as robust as an all alloy RIS. It also has a little compartment for storing 123 batteries.
Did not get to fire with it but it certainly is better than a C9 grip. Speaking of C9's I also got to check the new C9 PAQ4c/PEC2a mount (also by Cadex) which looked far better. A C6 one apparently is on the way.
I spoke to some weapons techs doing our ATI shortly after the tech update came out and they said although the grips will fit a C7A1 they will not likely be distributed until reserve units get the C7A2s. Watch and shoot I guess.
As for weapons accessories and optics our guys can use whatever they want in the field as long as they do not monkey with stuff that you need to be a weapons tech to fix afterwards. A civy upper would be clearly crossing the line. As a "habitual line stepper" myself I make sure to keep the guys away from doing anything they can get in trouble for. I admit though we have a bit more room for manouvre than some, you gotta like having a shooter for a boss.

Check Your Sources
I would recommend you check your sources on the ILLEGAL use of firearms parts by the LSSR. As a member of the LSSR since 1996, I can assure you that this type of activity does not happen. Thanks for slandering our unit though, very honourable of you. I suggest you keep your comments to subjects with which you are familiar.
That being said, I would certainly be interested in hearing if you knew the name of the soldier who was switching weapons around as you are suggesting. Certainly disciplinary proceedings would be actioned.

I have been a member of the LSSR for the past 3 yrs and no one has ever brought a personal upper on exercise with the unit. Theyre are a few members including myself who own AR15's though, none of us would ever mount a personal upper at work as we would be charged. That being said I have an idea who may be the source of this rumour as we have only had 1 attachment last year who was armoured go back to his unit in southern ontario. And for being able to get away with anything, only 64 packs, boots with a chit, gloves, and slings are about the only non issue kit used on exercise.
