Hey everyone,

I am very new to the forum. I tried to look around to see if this was posted already but I couldn't find anything.

So I am planning on purchasing my first AR-15 relatively soon. I am doing all the research ahead of time to make sure I think of all options and to make sure I will be happy with my purchase.

I am looking into getting a LMT CQB MRP Defender Piston for my rifle.

I would like to put a vertical foregrip, a bipod, a tactical light, and a laser on it. I know..I know..do I really need all of those attachments on it? No. But I think it would be a very fun gun to shoot and hopefully will look amazing when it is finally done. Anyways I digress...

To get all of those options on the AR is quite challenging. I found this crimson trace vertical grip, laser, and tactical light combo. (http://www.crimsontrace.com/products/manufacturer/ar15-m16-rifles/01-3120). Will this work with a Harris style tactical bipod. I feel like the light and/or the laser may be obstructed by the bipod. If anyone has any experience with this setup your input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot everyone!

I have that setup with the green laser and harris bipod on a LaRue QD mount. The bipod does not affect the laser, but it does block some of the light. Overall I love the setup and I can pop off the bipod quick.

Hmmm. I had a feeling there was going to be some obstruction of the light.

I already started to look at some backup options. I was thinking about going with this setup on my side rail
