Hi Gary and welcome. Yes, if a vertical fore grip. An angled fore grip is ok. Cheers and stay safe!

26 U.S.C. § 5845(e). ATF has long held that by installing a vertical fore grip on a handgun, the handgun is no longer designed to be held and fired by the use of a single hand. Therefore, if individuals install a vertical fore grip on a handgun, they are "making" a firearm requiring registration with ATF's NFA Branch.
