I was contemplating using the two hand stops in the manner suggested by LaRue which is one on the bottom and one on the left side to "drive" the gun. I found that to be too bulky. I spent extra money on a Gear Sector light mount to tuck the M600 into the rifle more so why make the profile wider by adding a hand stop on the side?
I had a bright idea to drill a hole in between two rail slots and attach a Magpul QD socket from my UBR stock. It bolted on solid and now performs two functions. First obviously, to be a sling attachment point and second, to act as a side hand stop. The only complaint is that the QD socket is not anti rotational.
As you can see by the pictures, I use the stock as my rear sling attachment point. So why spend the money on a QD endplate? I have a sling attached to my plate carrier and that connects to the endplate. I also have a QD on the lower left side of my plate carrier that attaches to the front QD socket to secure the rifle in a safe position in the event I am using less lethal or door breaching tools.
Performance:
The A5 system is smooth as butter! I just added the heavier buffer today so I didn't get to test it out yet. The rate of fire on full auto while suppressed is crazy and I am hoping to slow it down a bit with the heavier buffer. If the rifle chokes, I will change buffers until I get the proper function. I have been told by many that the H4 will be fine.
The 12.5 inch barrel is truly the best of both worlds. I have a 10.3 and even suppressed, it is quite loud. The 12.5 is easy on the ears suppressed and unsuppressed. I think the small AAC Mini4 is perfect for this rifle. No hearing protection is needed even on full auto and the total length with the can attached and the stock pulled out to where it is comfortable for me to shoot is 34 inches and when running plates I collapse the stock down a bit and it's 32.5 inches.
This rifle is suppressed about 90% of the time and is more controllable then I expected on full auto. A 4 or 5 shot burst will stay on silhouette at 50 yards if I do my part. It is much more fun on full auto but MUCH more accurate on semi.
Accuracy:
320 yards standing unsupported with an Aimpoint H-1 on an 18X36 steel plate. What more can I ask for!
I am not a distance shooter but it feels good to know that I can take the shot if needed.
The rifle groups very nice at 50 yards and it basically shoots better than me.
