Your original comment was that one couldn't get a proper sight picture with an A2 stock, ACOG and body armor. I'm 5'11" 190 and I can do it. So my question to you is if you can't get a sight picture with an ACOG and can't make hits then do you think NOT using irons is the best option? Especially if you CAN get a sight picture and make hits with the irons.
My original comment was I loved my A2 and the fact it makes a better club. My M4 was a cool thing but I (meaning myself, me) prefered my A2. I shot better with my A2 because it was a more solid platform. I never really liked the cheap collapsible stock that was on my M4 and the 14.5" barrel never seemed to be an improvement over the 20" barrel on my A2. You can improve the stock on a personal firearm but you are limited to what you can do to an issued weapon.
Well I'm 5'5" and trying to shoot an A2 with armor on was ****ing laughable. I have a feeling you aren't a grunt if you think you are representative of the average Marine's size.
