The AFG-2 (Angled Fore Grip) is a slim line design that is shorter in overall length and width compared to the original AFG. By positioning the shooter's hand high on the centerline of the bore, unlike conventional vertical fore grips, the AFG-2 helps mitigate recoil and control the weapon to facilitate faster, more accurate follow-up shots.

Its smaller size allows mounting on a wider variety of railed hand guards and better compatibility with rail covers and accessory mounts. Compatible with most any M1913 Picatinny-railed hand guard, the Magpul AFG-2 takes into account natural body mechanics and provides a comfortable and stable user interface that reduces fatigue and allows for more precise weapon control

Interchangeable finger shelf that allow for a flat "A1-style" surface or an "A2-style" finger nub.
