With its weight, performance, and price, the AGT Vixen has fast become one of the best-selling rifles of 2022. As a result, we have seen a large number of owners making modifications to their rifles.
At the top of many owners' lists is swapping out the cost-effective and lightweight polymer front guard rail for the metal one seen on the more expensive URAGAN. You can opt for the "Compact" rail for a more weight-conscious build, however, for this example, we are using the "Standard" length one.
Before you begin you will need the following:
A Good Allen Key Set like this - https://amzn.to/3DTZzns
AGT URAGAN Cage - https://www.vector-air.co.uk/product-page/uragan-foregrip-rail
Optional Extras:
Let's start
Step 1 - Get the Tools
Firstly you're going to need the aforementioned Allen Key Set and in it pull out the 2.5mm Allen Key.
Step 2 - Remove the existing rail and bottle
To remove the plastic cage we need to first remove the lower Picatinny Rail.
This is done by removing the 2 Allen screws from the underside of the rifle. Try to use the shorter (Squared) part of the key to avoid rounding the head.
The grip is then removed from the gun. Set the screws off to one side as these will be required for refitting.
Step 3 - Disasemmble The Vixen Cage and Raill
Once the rail is detached you will now to remove the 3 short screws that secure the rail to the guard itself. These 3 screws will be required for the new part fitment.
Step 4 - Disasemmble The URAGAN Cage and Raill
Now do the same with the new URAGAN metal cage. However, the 3 long screws in this rail are not used as they are too long for the Vixen rail so add these to your gun spares collection.
Step 5 - Disasemmble The URAGAN Cage and Raill
With both guards separated from their respective rails, we now need to attach the stepped Vixen rail to the metal URAGAN guard using the 3 short screws and torque to about 3NM.
Step 6 - Refit the new assembly to your Vixen
Now using the original Screws we removed in Step 2, refit the rail to the underside of the Vixen
Step 7 (Optional) - Make use of the spare parts
You have now got a metal bottle guard. Using the KeyMod Rail we can now mount the unused URAGAN Rail that we have left over from Step 4 to the front of the Metal Cage, this gives you a further away mounting point for your Picatinny bipod.
