The BCM Vertical Grip Mod 3 is a low-profile vertical foregrip for AR-15 and M4 rifles, mounting directly to any 1913 Picatinny rail section.
The BCM VG-1913-Mod-3 uses Bravo Company USA's patented direct-mount Picatinny 1913 interface (US Patent 9,709,358), designed as a rigid, light and economical way to hang a vertical grip or hand stop off a rail without a bulky separate clamp. The grip body is short: low-profile length for increased mobility and a decreased snag factor, so it will not catch on a sling, a plate carrier or the edge of a barricade.
The forward angle increases the rigidity of the forearm while giving a more natural wrist angle, and the grip can be mounted in reverse to change how it loads when you grab handguard and grip together. Flat sides with an aggressive texture give better yaw control — the rifle stops rolling in the hand under recoil. It weighs 1.9 oz (54 g). Made in the U.S.A. from high-quality impact-resistant polymers.
How It Compares
Ordering the wrong interface is the easiest mistake to make here, so check the handguard before you buy: if the slots are elongated M-LOK cut-outs rather than a ladder of square Picatinny teeth, you want the M-LOK version of the same grip.
Key Features
- Direct 1913 Picatinny mount — patented interface, no separate clamp
- Low-profile length — more mobility, less to snag
- Reversible — mount it either way around to suit your hold
- Flat, aggressively textured sides — yaw control under recoil
- 1.9 oz (54 g) — capability without meaningful mass
Compatibility & Fitment
This is the Picatinny version. It mounts directly to any 1913 Picatinny rail section — a quad rail, or a rail ladder fitted to a free-float tube — and it will not fit an M-LOK handguard. Fitting needs a T15 Torx driver, sold separately, torqued to approximately 18–20 in-lb (2.0–2.3 Nm) plus a quarter turn.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the Picatinny version or the M-LOK version?
This is the Picatinny one. It mounts directly to any 1913 Picatinny rail section and will not fit an M-LOK handguard. The same grip with an M-LOK interface is the Vertical Grip Mod 3 for M-LOK. Look at your handguard before ordering: elongated oval cut-outs are M-LOK, a ladder of square teeth is Picatinny.
What does mounting it in reverse do?
The grip can be fitted either way around. Run it forward-raked and it works as a conventional vertical grip you pull back into the shoulder; run it reversed and it gives a different loading point when you grab the handguard and the grip together. Neither is right or wrong — fit it one way, shoot a few strings, and try the other before you decide.
How much does it weigh and how do I fit it?
Bravo Company USA quotes 1.9 oz (54 g), so it is a negligible addition to a handguard. Fitting needs a T15 Torx driver, which is not included, torqued to approximately 18–20 in-lb (2.0–2.3 Nm) plus a quarter turn. Re-check the fastener after your first range session, as with any newly fitted accessory.
Why flat sides rather than a rounded grip?
The flat sides carry an aggressive texture and give better yaw control, which is Bravo Company USA's way of saying the rifle is less able to roll in your hand under recoil. A round post lets the gun rotate slightly; flats give the palm something to resist against. The short overall length is deliberate too — it is there to be indexed against, not wrapped in a full fist.
