Review: TangoDown Vertical Fore Grip - BGV-MK46

[@giancarlowolfe3654]

Armorer here, good to see that tango down grips now ship with a special tool for the tabs. The 4 zip ties included were used to keep the tabs down during instillation.

[@SuperVonKiller]

Yep, your becoming a gun guy! Knew it would happen when you started that build, welcome aboard! Haha!

[@macman1138]

I have noticed that taking that particular grip on and off a few times, the wear on the polymer causes ti to wobble and feels loose. I bought the QD TangoDown version of this grip to replace it.

[@johnmcgregor1186]

Great review and thanks to brownells.com for supporting your show. Now I am going to do a little shopping and support them.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+John McGregor - Great!

[@jaxbrewery]

7:10 “I was too impatient-I just started shoving.” Savage! 🤣

[@colinkelly279]

Yay Guns!!! And Brownells is a fine operation- bought many a part from them and am getting ready to get a Geisele trigger for my 700. I still have the foregrip on mine, but have thought about pulling it for grip style. Oh well, decisions, decisions. Nice review.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Colin Kelly - Oooh, Geiselle trigger. I definitely want to put an SSA in this build.

[@wing7534]

Love your clone, very basic, but rugged in its form. Very nice.

[@blackcat138]

lovely video, even though all types of guns and weapons are prohibited in my country. but I watch these videos because I feel that you are genuine person

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+blackcat138 - I appreciate that!

[@chesapeakepiper214]

yeh, i too really like the Magpul angled fore grip, it allows you to hold/pull the rifle in like you mentioned towards the end of the video. love that it has some storage, can never keep too many batteries with your firearm! just to touch on your intro point ...anyone who would try to make that statement 'c'mon... c'mon...' who owns rifles and doesn't know about Brownells?!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+ChesapeakePiper - Yeah, it would be pretty hard to own a gun and NOT be aware of Brownells.

[@neologian1783]

Great looking build Bradley! Living in the People's Republic of Massachusetts as I do my Mass compliant S&W M&P15 Sport has some limitations. I shoot mostly trap and skeet at my local club and didn't have much practical use for a long gun but I got an incredible deal from a member at the club who decided to lighten his collection before moving out of state. He'd put all of about 20 rounds through it before offering it to me. It's a blast to target shoot with and it has been pretty fun to accessorize within the rules here. I'm a big fan of the MagPul products and have "most" of what I wanted from them but one is probably never "finished" and so I'll give Brownell's a look see.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+John E - I think they're really great, ergonomic and soft-shooting rifles. I'm glad you're able to own one in MA, even if you're limited.

[@joeramia4481]

Sick rifle man, the build log was awesome

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Joe Ramia - Thanks! There will be several more updates coming in the future.

[@josephhein9497]

Ha! I've watched you for years for your tobacco reviews and Soulsbourne vids. Even said in the past how much I felt we'd get along in person. You even responded to that one. All these years later and what do you know... I have a DD M4A1 FSP Block II just like yours... I guess I shouldn't be surprised - great minds and all. :)

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Haha! Nice!

[@jacksuquett1191]

Throw a little bit of clear grease on those O-Rings. The O-Rings will last longer, does really help with the "Waterproofing".

[@liamturner7206]

Looks really cool, operator asfuq hahaha, nice job!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Liam Turner - Ha! Yep. Nerdy asfuq too, but it's been a fun project.

[@johnsmert3361]

Doing a SOPMOD build of my own

[@tckurth1]

Nice work from fellow Seattle SOCOM'er...[ Daniel Defense Mk18 Mod 1, Colt M4A1 SOCOM Block II, Colt M4 Carbine SOPMOD Block 1 builds ]

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+tckurth1 - Cool! Nice to have you watching.

[@thesmokingmedic6763]

I took everything off my hand guard but a light. After going through rifle classes and competing with my rifles. I found and vertical grip or AFG I had on one. Was just in the way and added weight.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+TheSmokingMedic - Yeah. Definitely nothing wrong with going "slick."

[@johnzapata6815]

Having trouble getting the last bit in the cut out for the switch any tips?

[@alexmcgregor7082]

Heck yeah, super stoked about your gun vid, i'm more into sniper rifles than AR-15 platforms but its neat to see what other gun people are into as well, big fan of your pipe stuff too by the by.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Peter Parker - Thanks! I should have more gun vids posting pretty regularly for the next few weeks.

[@rickbissell8678]

That watertight compartment looks like a good place to stash some Elizabethan Mixture.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Rick Bissell - I like how you think.

[@josephkimball742]

Looks good Bradley!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Joseph Kimball - Thanks! Thanks for watching.

[@youvandal411vm]

How's the stem cell treatment going?

[@ritareadyerbible2166]

I'd like to see it in action. Great looking AR.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Rita Kuhl - Thanks! I'll get some footage soon once my alternate shooting area becomes accessible.

[@BunyipDude]

Have one of these that I sometimes run on my Daniel Defense M4A1. I’ve always hated the fact that on the RIS II rail, it can’t be installed easily without removing the bottom of the rail first. Other than that, it’s a decent (if dated) VFG design.

[@NateK9132]

I hope you like the TG grip.. I found that I preferred the BCM grip much more than the TG. I really prefer a simple handstop (I use the Larue Tactical handstop). I noticed that you rifle was missing your Eotech.. Does that mean you sent it back for the refund like we talked about? Keep up the great videos!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Nate K - Perhaps! I don't mean to be coy, but I will definitely be addressing that in a future video.

[@NateK9132]

+Stuff&Things No reason to apologize.. I seriously considered even asking.. I look forward to that video and hearing what you're thinking!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Well, it's no secret that the Eotech is gone, but My replacement for it will feature in its own video. Thanks for the info before!

[@BillTCat-id1yv]

nice! i bought one several months ago. havent used it yet. cheers!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Bill T. Cat - You'll have to slap it on your rifle and see how you like it!

[@comradetman3784]

Nice rifle! Great video to!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+T MAN - Thanks for watching!

[@bobanddonnareynolds1226]

We love this stuff.

[@cedrik9]

BRADLEY, IF U PUT IN A GIESELLE IN UR RIFLE, THEN I WOULD SUGGEST THE SSA-E. IT IS THE SPECIAL FORCES EQUIVALENT! I GOT ONE IN MY AR15 AND IT IS AWESOME! ALSO, I GOT THE STUBBY VERSION ON MY RIFLE! AWESOME VID BY THE WAY! PLEASE DO MORE!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+cedrik9 - Actually, the SSA is the semi-auto equivalent of the SSF that Special Operations uses. The SSA-E definitely seems very cool though.

[@BillTCat-id1yv]

is that a larry vickers sling?

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Bill T. Cat - Yep, from Blue Force Gear. I like it a lot.

[@southerngentlemanpiper5964]

Since you don't use the fire grip like it's meant to( no big deal) I'm making a suggestion for you to buy an Angled fore grip! Which of course is slightly angled for a more natural hold !

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+addison davis - Yeah, I mentioned that I liked the Magpul AFG, BUT the TangoDown is actually issued to Special Operations troops, so I went with that for my Clone build.

[@southerngentlemanpiper5964]

+Stuff&Things well I think you did a hell of a job my friend !

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Thanks!

[@ernestsheffield9976]

I am getting the urge to build a classic full sized a2 style. That is what I mostly carried while in the profession of arms. I only got to play with the m4 every now and then. I wasn't one of the cool kids, so I had to deal with the old stuff. Of course accuracy wise my old junk was better. :-)

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Ernest Sheffield - There's actually a growing trend towards "retro" ARs lately. I beg to differ on the accuracy question! My 14.5 inch heavy barrel has less "whip," than a 20 inch barrel and can be more accurate up to 300 yards. At extreme distances, the extra velocity given by the 20 inch does make a difference though.

[@ernestsheffield9976]

+Stuff&Things I'm talking about shooter, not gun. I was being arrogant. I actually used to be a pretty good shot.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Ernest Sheffield - I'm sure you're better than me! I'm not bad with a pistol, but I still don't have a ton of experience with the AR platform.

[@ernestsheffield9976]

+Stuff&Things I'm the opposite. I've always been a rifleman, but terrible with handguns.

[@TexasThunder.338]

Aimpoint, Eotech, or ACOG?

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+David Pidlypchak - Ah, we'll get into optics in a future video!

[@SnowyOwlPrepper]

Good review. I like the build. I use the Barbie doll analogy rather than adult Lego for the platform. The adult is tacit so as not to have the girlfriend's mind to wander off course. Is the triangle front site a clone, ascetic, or other preference?

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Snowy Owl - The SOPMOD Block II program has both FSP (front sight post) and non FSP carbines in circulation. The non FSP version is more common, but I've been seeing more and more pictures from "the field" with the FSP in use. I just liked the look of it and found a good deal on the Daniel Defense RIS II rail with the FSP cut-out.

[@letstalkpocketknives267]

So you live in Seattle and have guns... not fitting in well are we?

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Lets Talk Pocket Knives! - You'd be surprised by who owns guns in the area. I know many a Liberal hipster gun owner.

[@distortzz]

Cool bruv!

[@frankiegee6135]

We have a lot in common although I don't collect guns I collect Italian stilettos

YOU LEAVE THOSE WOMEN'S SHOES ALONE!

[@MOBROOKS]

Love the hat

[@BillTCat-id1yv]

found my glasses. never mind. :) nice rifle.

[@musingsofajay387]

jesus christ lol. I did not expect u to lift that up

[@ernestsheffield9976]

It just goes to show you that you really never know what someone might enjoy as a hobby. I have to admit, when I first came to this channel I never in a million years thought he was the type to be a gun owner. Reminded me about jumping to conclusions about people. lol I should know that better than most. There are people that a have known for years, and they freaked out when the topic of tattoos came up. They learned I actually have quiet a few. I guess I don't seem the type. LOL

[@musingsofajay387]

Ernest Sheffield oh I knew. I just didnt expect him to take it out lol

[@ernestsheffield9976]

+MusingsofaJay♡ LOL Gotcha.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+MusingsofaJay♡ - Ha. I HAD to show the rifle at some point!

[@musingsofajay387]

Stuff&Things well... I show my guns on my channel all the time, its only fair u get to too. hahah

[@nikossavvidis7790]

Use gun oil to feet better on rail

[@coburna5]

Damn man. Easy on the fingernail biting

[@Pongo.1o1]

😠 🐵

[@gtorresillas]

Guns scare me bradskers. Run away!!!

[@electrecuted]

Your tattoo semantics, definitely does not match owning a handgun, even more a semi-automatic rifle. Conflict of interest. Just had to point it out.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Greco Maskara - Hmmm, I don't see why you would think that, but no worries. Thanks for watching.
