Description
Swapping out a stock A2 grip is one of the cheapest upgrades you can make to an AR, and Hogue's OverMolded grip is a longtime favorite for good reason. It takes a durable fiberglass core and wraps it in a layer of soft synthetic rubber, so you get a cushioned, hand-filling feel without any of that spongy or tacky nonsense that some rubber grips have. The result is a grip that stays planted in your palm whether you're running drills at the range or out on a hunt in nasty weather.
What Sets the Hogue OverMolded Grip Apart
The magic here is in the shape and the texture. Gentle palm swells fill out both sides of the grip so it works for righties and lefties alike, and the finger grooves guide your hand into the same position shot after shot. Hogue's Cobblestone texture is a stippled pattern that grabs without chewing up your skin, which matters when you're wearing gloves or when rain and sweat come into play. The rubber also shrugs off oils and solvents, so cleaning day won't degrade it.
Fit and Feel on Your AR Build
This one is cut for AR-15, M16, M4, and similar platforms, and folks running it on AR-10 and LR-308 lowers report the same clean fit. Compared to a flat A2 grip, the slightly fuller palm swell fills your hand better without feeling bulky, and it helps cut down on fatigue during long strings of fire. It weighs next to nothing at around 2.4 ounces, so you're adding real comfort without any meaningful weight.
Installing the Hogue Grip
Installation is about as simple as it gets and needs no special tools. The grip mounts using your rifle's existing factory grip screw, so keep that handy since a new screw isn't in the box. Depending on your lower, you may find a small gap or an overlapping rubber tongue at the trigger guard. If the tongue overlaps, a quick trim with a utility knife squares things away, and if there's a gap you just snug it into place. The OD Green finish gives it a clean, subdued look that blends right in with a field or duty setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Hogue OverMolded grip come with a mounting screw?
No, a grip screw is not included. It's designed to install using your rifle's existing factory grip screw, so hang on to the one already on your lower. If you're building from scratch or lost yours, grab an inexpensive standard AR grip screw to finish the job.
Will this grip fit my AR platform?
It's built for AR-15, M16, and M4 style rifles and uses the standard AR grip interface, so it drops onto mil-spec lowers with ease. Owners running AR-10 and LR-308 lowers report the same clean fit. On some rifles you may need to trim the small rubber tongue near the trigger guard, which takes just a few seconds with a utility knife.
Is the Hogue OverMolded grip good for gloves or wet conditions?
Yes, that's one of its strong points. The Cobblestone stippled texture and finger grooves keep your hand locked in whether you're bare-handed, gloved up, or dealing with rain and sweat. The rubber is grippy without being so aggressive that it wears on your skin during long sessions.
Does the rubber feel soft or spongy?
It's cushioned but not mushy. Hogue's overmolding puts a soft rubber layer over a rigid fiberglass core, so you get a comfortable, hand-filling feel while the grip stays solid and secure on the receiver. The material also resists oils and solvents, so it holds up well over years of use.
