I hold the unloaded weapon in my firing hand with the appropriate grip, and rotate the muzzle skyward. With my humerus horizontal and the weapon vertical, the stock should touch the inside of my elbow. For me, this is roughly A1 length, and results in my nose to charging handle when I go prone. If I’m prone for a while, I usually pull it out another click, and still have my nose barely touching it, but a little less cramped.
I deviate from this sometimes, preferring it slightly longer with a short handguard (6920), just because my left hand feels too close. But even then, I mostly stick to the above technique. With a longer gun and a bunch of clothes and such, I’ll bring it in a click.
When you reload, you should be able to stabilize the weapon with the stock, without being cramped. I have people hold the weapon like they’re reloading and push the handguard down vigorously with their support hand. You’ll feel what I mean in your firing hand wrist.
I’m 5’7”, 140-150.
