Cool! Is the picture distorted a little or does that foregrip have a funky taper to it?

Tough looking, and probably as sensitive as hell. How much do those things run?

The foregrip is straight and smaller than the rear tube just cheap camera. Sensitive You bet.
The handles can run $50+ It takes longer to glue up but they are catching on.

No this is 8 or 9. Most are fixes for ruff cork but getting more request for it now that Lami puts it on some off the rack rods.

If your looking for tapered fore grips Batson now has them in 2,2.5 and 3 inch we are the first to introduce these in the industry not to mention these are 3K graphite material and in my opinion are more sensitive than texalium without the big word. Also new eva trim shims for both Fore and rear grip in several difrent styles so you could use any one of my 7 butt caps to fit. Check them out on page 89 of my catalog!

Kary,
Either you mean 33 million graphite not 3 thousand or are the fore grips 20,000, 25,000, 30,000 inches long? They really do look nice though.

Actually Emory the 3k karry is talkin about is a trademark name for the woven material they use in their foregrips! The modulus material in prepreg is propritary, But from my own experience this stuff is much more superior than the texalium handle! Fish Fart, U FEEL IT BABY, FEEL THE BURN YEAH!!!!
