I think the A2 stock config is gonna be around for a long time. Remember he is referring to military usage here. If for some reason there is to be a full all out deployment you may actually get to see just how many of these A2 stocks there are. You might want to remember that all troops are not special combat forces. They might all end up as infantry when it is all said and done but remember everyone isn't some kind of special forces. I was an aircraft mechanic. You think I got to carry one of those smooth little lightweight carbines? NOT!!! You might want to think about the weopon a guy would carry if he was a draftee if it ever came to that...probably an A2. But who knows, I am only guessing right. Seems to me that everytime I got deployed they always made me carry more and more heavy shit. The first thing I was issued was a toolbox, then brand new chemgear, freakin A-bag, auto-injectors, and a weopon. Since I was a bigger guy they always wanted to try and pawn off a 60 or a 249 on me but I always got out of it..."ain't qualified" I would say...they hated that shit but it always worked. LOL, now look at me, I have one of those heavy-ass Bushmaster Dissipators. Go figure.
