Hey Guys,
I need your advice. Is the pistol grip on an AICS any longer than an L96?


I'm thinking about dropping my LTR into an AICS, and today I was fortunate enough to get behind an L96.

Note how its straight from the bottom of the pistol grip to the butt.

I found that the pistol grip was too short, my little finger was hanging off the bottom of the stock - and I don't have large hands. This really surprised me.
I found the reach to the trigger was OK, but I felt like my hand was sliding off the grip all the time.

Any advice on the grip length will be most welcome.


thanks,
SteveA
 
Re: AICS specific question

Was the L96 for sale by any chance ? Need one for the collection. Fired one as a young digger in the UK back in the early 1990's - started a life long AI bug.

It has been a few years since I handled an L96 - but the stock designs are a little different. Similar - but a little different.

I am sure that if you are near West Sussex that Graeme at Sporting Services would let you have a handle of the AICS.

Cheers,

My little finger is nowhere near falling off the end of my AICS. I don't have small hands. Come to think of it, I have never heard that complaint from anybody. I've never handled and L96
