    They must have heard you...they just designed this stock half an hour ago. Now they need to have the cocking handle come out to the side so they can drop the scope-rail another 20 mm or so. With the new rail on these photos they have obviously dropped it as much as they dared but the operator on Kaur's photo will struggle to get his glove in that gap when he's in a hurry!
    Mechanically I think the rifle is quite good and it is a breeze to clean (without a silencer!), but you are right, the ergonomics leave a lot to be desired.

    I don't know what to think about this. Surely this scope would need an externally adjustable mount to compensate for the trajectories of the M2 and Mk19 (unless that's what a BERM is).
