McMillan A4 mixed with A1-3?

[dontstrokeme]

Looking at the A4's rear vertical grip I feel like I miss my A3 stock....but the A4 seems very chunky.

Has anyone thought about an A4 from the forward action screw to the buttpad (REAR)and A1-3 in the forend (FRONT)?

I think that would be a pretty bodacious stock if used in a Edge fill.....

Or did I just describe another stock that is already out there? Other way of thinking is the Manners GAT since it is light, small forend and has a fairly vertical grip, just not huge like the A4.

Just thinking the A3-5 had to come from somewhere too....

Dont go screwin with the best thing about an A4- the GRIP! The rest of the stock is nearly perfect, but the grip IS perfect!

Amen, I almost forgot how perfect it was until I got my Lima today, it really is the most comfortable stock ever made to me. IMHO

No I like the grip on the A4...but would rather the less blocky forend of the A1-3.

A4 from action to butt and A1-3 from action towards barrel.

Everybody likes the blocky forend of the A4? I have never personally fielded an A4 but they look much larger than the A1-3 and honestly my A1-3 is about as large of a forend as I can see being practical for mobility and improvised (non prone) shooting.


Am I wrong in that thought?

I like the forearm on the A4.

+ 1, not the best for offhand but a great overall stock.
