UNIVERSAL AK47 & AR15 THUMB GRIPS FOR FEATURELESS AK's & AR's

[comifornia:(]

So this is my prototype(available now) universal AK thumb grip /rest for featureless AK's and AR15's. Works with any grip wrap fin or grips like the strike industries AK & AR simple grip.

The AK version comes with or without a sling loop attachment point on the other side and is reversible for lefty shooters.
Fits most AKM pattern AK's with a loose grip nut ( I'll also be making one for milled & Yugo AK's with a riveted grip nut ).

AR15 thumb rest / grips come in right or left handed versions and will also fit AR10 & SCAR models. Four different versions available and are as follows 1) short straight 2) short flipped up end 3) long straight 4) long flipped up end.

AR15 thumb grips will be available for sale 6/10/2019.

The inexpensive strike industries AK simple grip feels great with the thumb grip.

Cool, great work!

Is it made of steel or aluminum?

[Kwikvette]

I'll be interested in 2 if;

No sling loop on opposite end

Doesn't protrude as much for those with small thumbs

[OniKoroshi]

Not bad.

[Mesa Defense]

Material?

[SkyHawk]

Does not look comfortable, at all. I would consider it if it was made with any sort of ergonomics in mind. Make it thicker and round it off, break all sharp edges. It should be more than just a place for your thumb to rest. It should be made so a thumb can get serious but comfortable purchase to assist in gripping the rifle.

Steel its not bending.

Its more comfortable than it looks and the "rest" is really a grip. It allows for plenty of purchase. I can control the rifle with the one hand same as I do with my AR15 exile machine grip ,but I was thinking of adding a rubber rap around grip as an option. Bottom line is it'll be a cheap add on for people with existing grip wraps and wanting more control. I will look into rounding the edges further, but it did spend some time in a tumbling machine to deburr the edges.

I could do no sling loop.

It sticks out a little bit less than 1 inch (1/16 short) I was
trying to make it fit for the average persons thumb size (I don't have large thumbs and it fits me fine).
As a reference your charging handle sticks out about 1 & 1/8 inch.

Have you considered dipping the thumb rest part in plastidip? May be more comfortable than bare metal, not sure of longevity since I've never really used it.

[Sparrow Dynamics]

Nice work!

[oppe4021]

Cool! Will you have one without a sling loop attachment?

You might try dipping it instead of a rubber rap or rounding the edges... You can get the plastic dip coating at "TAP Plastics" in the bay-area or maybe at a "Home Depot" near you...it's what tool handles are coated in, good grip and covers the sharp edges...easy to use...try it... you will like it...I have used it for many projects.

Nice work!

Thanks! I was thinking of using one of your grips on my next build
