What types of bipod foregrips are good and why (for ak type rifle (m10))
I love my Grip Pod. Wish I had gotten 4-5 more when I had the chance.
here's a link.
i've got a few that were issued in AFG. decent set-up, as long as you don't need height adjustability.
I see what you did there.. lol.. It should be obvious ive spent time looking at them since ive posted links.. and that I asked for peoples opinions on pros and cons/ things they like or dislike about different types of them
Pics? Link?

I had one a while back....still do. I don't really use it anymore. It is a compromise tool. It's not as good as a dedicated bipod, and it's not as good as a dedicated hand grip like a afg, stubby grip, or hand-stop. If you're going to be using a AK for more running/gunning stuff, it sticks out pretty far down and is just not as comfortable or as handy as an AFG. If I'm going to have an AFG on the rifle for those tasks, I want to practice shooting with that and creating stability out of shooting position or creating rests from things like sand-bags, rolled up jackets, or whatever other rest-stuff is handy.
If I want to do more bench shooting or shooting from prone, a standalone bypod is going to be much more useful....especially if it pivots so you can level the gun off. To mount a bipod on the rail, many companies offer sections that clamp to the rail and have a swivel on them. Or you could just get a bipod made to attach to a rail.
So personally, they're nifty as a compromise thing but you have to be realistic about the sacrifices it has by trying to be two things instead of specialized as one. If you're doing mostly bench shooting, get a normal bipod and enjoy. If you're concerned more for shooting on the move/defensive stuff, you'd probably be better served with a grip for that type of application.
Hope this helps without the drama of yelling at you for asking a question.

what makes it worse is where you would want a bipod and where you would want a grip are also two different areas of the handguard...so yet again, combining both just makes a bad situation
