FAB is the Israeli manufacturer, Mako the American importer/distro (who seems to specialize in representing only Israeli brands). I did my homework before giving them so much as a dime... though having someone I know who one of his guys bets his bubblegum along with the rest of the squad's on their stuff every day helped.I use their AR grip and a quick-release 1" flashlight mount. Seems to me I've used other things, but I can't recall what. Fine products. Isn't FAB Defense connected to Israel, or is that the Mako group?
Keymod….. LOLI'm using their stuff on my AR build, and the FBI authorizes the AG-43 grip and PTK foregrip on their issue AR's. (My build is based on one that a buddy who's an active IDF officer had his armorer build for one of his guys who had some of the same odd biomechanics issues as I do.)
Heavy, but solid so far... have an AGF-43 folding maingrip on order, a T-PODG2 foregrip/bipod with light waiting for a rail to mount it on, and a GL-MAG stock with MBA recoil-pad/rear monopod addon already installed, and at two clicks out (of 6) it's the first rifle stock that's ever fit me.
Unsure about PDX-local, but you might contact The Mako Group (their US importer/distributor) and see if they can recommend somebody--you really missed out, as the time and place to load up was their 30%-off-EVERYTHING Black Friday deal, though their Inventory Reduction Sale is still worth a checkout. (Between IR and Black Friday, smokin' deals if you were OK with OD!)
If it helps, here's their stuff on my build... remember, no rail yet so the foregrip's only mocked-up, and the maingrip is just a stock A2 to hold the safety on while waiting for the folder to arrive.

Everything Gecko45 could want to tent his undies, until he had to spend a month humping the damn thing around... it's heavy enough that it's uncomfortable even on a padded sling.
Meh. I grew up humping a FAL with 9x20 mags of 7.62....When I get back to the laptop I'll have to post a rifle that's Full Metal Gearqueer with FAB from stem to stern, only thing missing is a Gen 1 Mag Carrier Foregrip I haven't installed.
Bloody thing weighs more than TWO M4's ready to ship from FN INCLUDING the crates... I keep it this way as a hands-on lesson in "this is why we DON'T go Full Gearqueer Tacti-Tard." It has the combined folding bipod-foregrip-light, the folding maingrip, the mag-carrier stock AND the monopod buttpad adapter so its benchrest rig is built-in. Load it with three D-60s and you'll have the world's first Crew-Served AR...
Right now they're running an 11%-off-everything sale, depending on how they pencil out compared to other vendors I may pounce on that to get another folding grip to set aside for a future GAU-5 ASDW clone.

I see third-grader repartee is alive and well here...

My point is we ALL were young and stupid at some point... good judgment comes from experience, experience comes from surviving bad judgment.
