ProMag Industries Archangel Short Vertical Foregrip Picatinny Rail Zytel Polymer Black AA146 UPC 708279017483
Product Description
The ProMag® Archangel® Short Vertical Foregrip (SKU: AA146 / UPC: 708279017483) is an armorer-grade forward control accessory engineered to enhance weapon control, indexing speed, and recoil recovery on AR-15 and tactical rifle platforms. Specifically configured with a compact "stubby" profile, this vertical grip provides essential tactile leverage without adding excess bulk, snag points, or unnecessary weight to the front end of the rifle.
Molded in the United States from premium DuPont Zytel-based polymer, the Archangel vertical grip withstands extreme impact abuse, tactical vehicle egress, rough handling, and chemical solvent exposure without cracking or softening. The clamping assembly incorporates heavy-duty carbon steel locking pins and cross-bolts that clamp solidly across MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail slots, eliminating lateral slop and mechanical flex under aggressive weapon manipulation.
The cylindrical body features molded circumferential ribbed serrations that provide a confident, non-slip purchase whether running bare hands or heavy tactical gloves in wet environments. Its compact length makes it versatile for traditional vertical grip holds, modern thumb-over-bore "C-clamp" forward indexing, or serving as a physical handstop against positional barricades. The internal core features a hollow storage cavity sealed with a weather-resistant cap for staging spare optic batteries or small maintenance tools.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:*
Fitment Matrix: Fits standard MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rails, quad-rail forends, and Picatinny modular rail adapters. CRITICAL: NFA WARNING: Installing a vertical foregrip on an AR pistol with an overall length under 26 inches creates an "Any Other Weapon" (AOW) under the National Firearms Act, requiring an approved ATF Form 1 tax stamp. Ensure Picatinny cross-pin seats cleanly into a rail cross-slot before tightening. Torque mounting hardware to 20-25 in-lbs to prevent stripping the polymer clamp.
- Ensure the host firearm is completely clear, magazine removed, and chamber visually and physically verified empty.
- Loosen or remove the steel cross-locking pin from the Archangel foregrip base using the appropriate hex tool.
- Slide the foregrip onto the lower Picatinny rail of your handguard to your preferred balance and index position.
- Align the cross-pin bore with a Picatinny recoil slot and insert the steel locking pin through the rail channel.
- Torque the cross-bolt to 20-25 in-lbs, verify zero forward or lateral movement along the handguard, and unscrew the base cap to verify O-ring seal seating.
