Overview

The Magpul MVG (M-LOK Vertical Grip) is the direct-attach M-LOK successor to the older Picatinny-clamping MOE grip, and remains the default budget vertical foregrip for AR builders who specifically want a traditional 90-degree profile. Where the BCM KAG and Magpul AFG-2 favor a forward rake for C-clamp technique, the MVG presents a square vertical surface for shooters who prefer to wrap the support hand fully around the grip and pull straight back into the shoulder. This older grip technique still has adherents, particularly for short-barrel pistols and PCCs where the compressed length-of-pull encourages a tucked-in support arm.

Construction is impact-resistant polymer with Magpul's TSP (Trapezoidal Surface Projection) texture for positive purchase under wet, sweaty, or gloved conditions. Direct M-LOK attachment removes the need for a Picatinny adapter rail and keeps the grip low-profile against the handguard. Length is 3.0 inches, weight is 1.4 ounces, and the grip occupies approximately three M-LOK slots. Available in Black, Flat Dark Earth, Grey, and OD Green to match the broader Magpul furniture lineup.

Real-world use confirms the MVG as a no-fuss, durable budget vertical grip. Shooters often choose it as their first foregrip experiment before deciding whether they prefer vertical, angled, or hand-stop profiles. The polymer construction trades a small amount of rigidity for low weight and price, and the TSP texture holds up well across years of training use. For builders who specifically want a 90-degree vertical grip on M-LOK at the lowest price point, the MVG is the benchmark.
