M4 Aeg Grip Angles

Tired as piss, so I'll try to keep this concise

I'm looking for an M4 AEG grip with a sharper angle. A2, TD, MOE grips are uncomfortable for me because the angle is too shallow. The best so far is the VFC 416 pistol grip. VFC managed to keep the correct angle while keeping the motor aligned properly to the bevel gear. Now I wonder: Is it possible for somebody to make a replica of the BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 grip, which has a similar grip angle? Pictures below.

Thanks for reading!

No replica of the BCM grips exist for AEG, but PTS is coming out with the EPG-C which replicates that more-vertical grip angle that you're looking for. This is due out late spring/summer 2015.

I just checked out the complete PTS catalogue, and the EPG-C looks really good (105˚ angle, it's really sharp!) Thanks for the reply.

Catalogue for anybody else who would like to see it

$5 says it'll sound like poop no matter how you shim it.

Basic major issue is keeping the motor at the right angle while moving the grip, always resulting in a longer grip. But that completely defies the whole point since it's the palm of your hand that needs to move, not necessarily the front of the grip.
In order to make a truly more vertical grip (which I'd LOVE to have one too), they'd need a hypoid pinion gear to interface at that angle. Or make the top of the grip longer to produce the angle. Or move the interface hole in the receiver and mechbox forward to accept a steeper angle.

Doesn't the VFC HK416 pistol grip have sort of the same angle as the Gunfighter grip?

That's what I figured, hence the pictures. If not, hypoid bevel and pinion gears as the guy before mentioned would be a good idea.

any differences in angles on existing grips are usually more to do with adding more material in one direction, changing the angle of the motor is going to cause mechanical issues with gear engagement.

You should be able to just use a hypoid a pinion and not a bevel

The 416 grip is actually still off by a bit.
