Fore grips?

What are those fore grips called that I see on some Palmer markers? They remind of those fore grips that I've seen on Tippmanns. Can you buy them anywhere?

They're milled SL-68 II pump handles, and no you can't buy them anymore. PPS doesn't offer them anymore, since the stock is no more.

Unless you can find a nice SL-68 II somewhere and rob the pump off of it...

I am pretty sure that PPS still has foregrips like that... call them.

(916) 923-9676

If not, I probably have a few around here somewhere. I am hitting the parts closet to look for something for Jincay today, so I will check around for you as well.

Thanks Drum, I'd rather buy it off you if I could, going to be a while before I can call PPS

Doesn't have to be an sl pump handle. The 68 special(;onger foregrip) and the 68 carbine(shorter foregrip) with slip on forgrips. Pretty sure that's what plamer uses/used. No idea if they have them available, but they're not hard to find around here. If Drum can't find you one, just post in wtb here, you'll get one.

Palmer, not Plamer - just a personal pet peeve.

The 68 Carbine ones are still kicking around, but IIRC Craig told me that the longer ones used for the Typhoons are used up. (The ones used on the 68 Special are just pumps from the SL-series, BTW.)

As I mentioned in my original post - if you can find something with the foregrip and rob it off of it, send it in to PPS, and have it milled out to fit, go for it.
