New upgrade for the fx impact!!

That is cool. I had not heard of these guys. Has anyone used their product? Do they make it easier to fill the gun?

I don't own an FX, but I have to admit it solves one issue that is rather evident when you hold the gun. And, there appears to be enough rail to hold not only the bipod, but as vertical grip as well. If I was Steve Allen, I'd say... "Neato slick". 

Could be my first Mod! They do sell a short version as well, which matches the existing rail length. The shorter version providing a larger fill port opening and a cover for that opening, as well as smoothing out the gap between the frame and the grip. I will take one for the team and order, once I get my rifle that is. AOA said that the new rifles had somewhat resolved the issue of the tiny fill port access issue, so I may just leave well enough alone once I get my rifle.

Wondering if the long version could wreck the four screws holding it onto the frame if enough force was exerted on the top of the gun above the bottle, like he did in the video? Put another way, would the rail bend before there was enough pressure to damage the four frame attachment screws, whereby the frame attachment screws would de-thred?

That was one of the issues that came to mind when I first saw the product. The bipod being out that far creates a longer lever acting against the screws.

I ordered my trigger guard on Friday and it arrived today. It installs very easy and is a perfect fit. It really looks and feels solid and, to me, I think you would really have to abuse the gun, to cause damage to the mounting screws. Now all I need is for my Atlas Bipod to arrive from AOA.
