Pachmayr AR grip

[stickman61]

This is the first time I've seen a grip like this, anyone ever used one? How comfortable are they?

I have one on a 870 Remington shotgun . Never saw one on an AR

Did you find it in a hog pen??

Pretty much, they were in a box of stuff. I just drug them out and snapped a picture. 😎

NEAT! Ive always wondered how those mounted up!

They must have discontinued those a long time ago.

Yep. Put one on my first AR 20 years ago. Only pic I can find on my phone. Bushmaster with 37mm launcher.

Looks like they took an old Presentation line Ruger grip and modified it for AR use. Grip angle seems a little steep, but that seems to be a trend today. Only, YOU can tell if you like it or not. Simple matter to change it out and try it.

I think I'm going to try it. I have to clean and reblue the steel and try to make it look a little better.
Then we'll see how it works Thanks guys.

Will do, I'm not sure about the size but I think I'm going to like the grip angle.

If you find you don't care for it..... PM me.

What I find interesting about it is how it seems to be made for manlier hands. I'm always on the lookout for a grip that moves the web of the hand further back than something like the MOE, which itself is a huge improvement over the original.

These are what I currently run. The best set-back I've ever found.

The Pachmayer would be nice to allow the web of the hand to sit higher up (like an MOE) but further back than an MOE.



Plus...... they look cool.

Midsouth still has these available...
