Does look nice, shame you cannot make and sell them.

Maybe you could approch Magpul with your idea, and work out a deal or partnership for this item.

I don't see why you cant sell it.
Its not a copy of the Monolith arms forearm.
Its not a copy of anything magpul makes.
They cant copyright the shape of a grip.
Find your own unique style
make the forearm grip.
sell one to every FS2000 owner.
Id buy one with or without the laser & light.
Magpul was supposed to be doing the "Monolith" from the rumors I've seen, but nothing ever happened.
I doubt that they have time, or intrest in a small production number gun like the FS2k for making custom parts, but I could be wrong.
There are more an more of these around the world, and if it's battle use capable, I think military buyers would consider it. (Especially if it had the Magpul name on it.)
Even if whoever produces it just builds it so you can "Add" a light and laser to the design with simple mods like adding a light to the stock front, It would be a good seller I'd think. (That way you can let the guys who want 300.00 lights, and 300.00 lasers do their thing, and the guys who figure a 60.00 or less light is fine, and a 60.00 or less laser is fine do what they want as well.)
Heck, design it for a Surefire G2 LED flash light, and any 1" tube laser, and it would sell like crazy.
Wonder if Crimson Trace would be willing to build one of these? (It would be more like 400.00 range, but if the quality is there, I'm in for that.)
They sell quite a bit to the military as well, so again, it widens out the market for sales, and that's what's going to get someone building this front grip/light/laser combo. (I still want a green laser option, but a red/green laser option would be totally awesome!)
For What its worth, this isn't going to cause any problems with FN (otherwise they would have gone after Monolith), or Monolith (as they were designing something that was clearly a copy of what FN had) even if it was that close to anything that they have. The design has some similarity but is actually very unique.
I would buy one with or without the laser/light if it were available. A base (without the light, such as a cap where the light would go) model, would probably sell like hotcakes given the problems most people (including myself) have with the production for-grip that is on the f2000 series. I also suspect that the upgraded one with a light in it would also sell quite well. You could even leverage some of the aftermarket LED dropins (6p series) that are available for surefire to act as the light with what I suspect would only small modifications in your design instead of having to use a surefire head directly.
I would suggest that you ahead and produce it, but that is just my humble opinion.
Make them.
Sell them.
Im waiting.
