Cadex Folding Vertical Grip

I just received this little package in the mail: the Cadex Folding Vertical Grip.  Thanks Patrice!  So I took off the KAC/P&S vertical grip and threw it onto the M5 RAC for the ultimate Frankensteining.  Though the rail system was pretty standard issue for the US military, it was only under considered for the C7A2, but never implemented.  I think a few managed to get into the system for trials, and I heard the guys that were testing them out liked them, but it just didn’t happen.  The CF went with the Diemaco TRIAD tri-rail (the one you see on my rifle is a BCM reproduction) instead and contracted Cadex to provide the folding vertical grip which is commercially available on their website.

There was nothing wrong with the KAC/P&S Products one, and to be honest, I prefer the feel of the stubby Mapgul RVG (Rail Vertical Grip), but the Cadex one is affordable, it’s what’s on the issue rifle, and if I ever want to return the rifle to that authentic look, I’ll have it available.  The differences between KAC/P&S grip compared to the Cadex one is the KAC grip slides on, does not fold, and can be installed without tools (twist/friction attachment system).  The Cadex grip folds, locks firmly in place in the open and closed position, can be mounted straight on to the rail (does not need to be slid on) but requires a flat head to crank it down.  That being said, everyone in the CF should have their Gerber so this shouldn’t be a problem.

One Of These Is Not A Real Firearm

I'm selling my Airsoft Tokyo Marui M4A1 R.I.S. to make room in the locker for some new toys, haha!  It's got all the original parts back on it so it's as good as new.  I took this chance to take some pictures of the real deal next to a pretty convincing toy.  I also mounted  my new Magpul MBUS sights in OD, as well as the VLTOR/BCM Gunfighter charging handle.

New stuff from CTC Supplies

Well, Justin the Arms Dealer just came by my office with some new toys.  I got the Magpul MBUS front and rear in OD Green.  So anal, I know, but the fake stuff I had on before just wasn't as sturdy.  The retaining pins would back out everytime I popped the sights up and down.  I also got a VLTOR/BCM  Gunfighter charging handle.  I'll post some pics once I install this stuff.
