>>8766513Since a lot of shooting I do is from the prone or a bench, I find the flat bottom and wider cross section of the A1 handguards lies a bit more stable in my support hand. Not much of a grip with the A2 pistol grip, but after shooting with the A1 pistol grip for so long the finger groove on the A2 grip feels a bit awkward.

Here's the same rifle with the A2 furniture installed.
