Magpul Rail Vertical Grip RVG – OD Green

Product Description

The Magpul RVG rail vertical grip in OD Green is a forward vertical grip designed for 1913 Picatinny rail-equipped rifles and carbines. It offers a secure gripping surface that helps you maintain consistent hand placement during rapid fire and target transitions.

Vertical grips improve control by giving your support hand a fixed reference point. The RVG is low-profile enough to allow comfortable shooting from prone and bench positions.

This grip is built for shooters who want repeatable hand position without adding bulk. It works well on AR-platform rifles, tactical shotguns, and any other firearm equipped with a Picatinny rail section forward of the magazine well.

Magpul RVG Rail Vertical Grip for 1913 Picatinny Rails

The RVG mounts directly to any MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail. Most AR-15 and AR-10 handguards come with at least one section of Picatinny rail, either integrated into the forend or attached via accessory panels. If your rifle has a quad-rail handguard, you can mount the RVG at the 6 o’clock position or angle it slightly to suit your grip.

Vertical grips shift your support hand further forward, which reduces muzzle rise and helps you drive the gun during strings of fire. They also make it easier to pull the rifle into your shoulder pocket when shooting from unconventional positions.

Comparing the RVG to Angled Foregrips

The RVG offers a true vertical grip angle, which some shooters prefer over angled foregrips like the Magpul AFG. A vertical grip allows your wrist to stay straighter and can feel more natural if you learned to shoot with a traditional handguard.

Angled grips encourage a thumb-over-bore hold and work well for shooters who use a C-clamp technique. If you prefer to wrap your hand fully around the forend, the RVG delivers that option. Both styles improve control; the best choice depends on your shooting style and arm length.

OD Green Finish and Other Magpul Grips

The OD Green finish matches other Magpul furniture in the same color family, so you can coordinate your handguard, stock, and grip. Magpul produces this grip in several colors to suit different build themes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the Magpul RVG fit M-LOK or KeyMod handguards?

A: The RVG is designed for 1913 Picatinny rail only. If your handguard uses M-LOK or KeyMod, you will need to attach a Picatinny rail section first, or choose a grip designed for direct M-LOK or KeyMod mounting. Call 817-393-4000 and we can help you identify the right accessory for your setup.

Q: How does the RVG compare to the Magpul AFG?

A: The RVG is a traditional vertical grip, while the AFG is an angled foregrip that encourages a thumb-forward hold. The RVG suits shooters who prefer a full wrap around the grip, while the AFG works better for those using a modern C-clamp technique. Both reduce muzzle rise and improve control.

Q: Can I use the RVG on an AR pistol?

A: Federal law prohibits installing a vertical foregrip on an AR pistol without first registering it as an AOW or SBR. If your firearm has a barrel under 16 inches and is classified as a pistol, adding a vertical grip changes its legal status. Contact us at 817-393-4000 to discuss NFA compliance before you buy.

Q: Will the RVG work on a shotgun with a Picatinny rail?

A: Yes, any shotgun equipped with a 1913 Picatinny rail section can accept the RVG. Tactical shotguns often have rail-equipped forends or magazine tube mounts. Confirm that your rail is MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny and not a proprietary pattern.

Q: What tools do I need to install the Magpul RVG?

A: Most Picatinny-mount grips use a hex screw or clamp mechanism. Confirm the installation requirements for your specific grip before you start. If you are unsure or prefer professional installation, Western Sport offers gunsmithing services in Roanoke. Call 817-393-4000 to schedule.

Q: Does Western Sport ship the Magpul RVG to addresses outside Texas?

A: Western Sport ships firearm parts and accessories to most states. The RVG is not a regulated component and does not require an FFL transfer. Contact our shop at 817-393-4000 to confirm shipping options and place your order.
