It does. It helps me grab onto it when I address malfunctions or just to charge the rifle. My friend, the stick up his ass, tells me the stock stuff is better because the rifle was designed with those in mind...which I told him for a completely different manual of arms that's changed. He doesn't want change. He prefers as close to what he used in the corps as possible save for a few extra things he hypocritically decided on and wants to push me to be like him.
Dude, if it works for your buddy, then let him do his thing, you do yours.
