A grip for an AR-10 and AR-15 automatic rifle comprises a skeletonized frame that mates with the receiver of the automatic rifle. The skeletonized frame includes a plurality of frame members that interconnect at angles to reinforce the structural integrity of the frame. The skeletonized frame comprises an open area. The open area stores items pertinent to operation of the automatic rifle. The frame is also configured to receive multiple interchangeable grip panels for altering the visual and functional aspects of the grip. The interchangeable grip panels detachably recess into an appropriate section of the frame, such that their edges are protected from damage from inadvertent impact and abrasion. For example, the grip panels provide a texture that helps cushion the palm of the hand, or accommodate left hands and/or right hands. The panels align through an alignment pin that passes through the opening of the frame.
