Customization of Firearms, fun, but necessary
Even since the AR15 got shortened down to the M4 Carbine, many in the Military and Law Enforcement have realized that there are ways to improve upon the design for the operators advantage. No longer is an individual issued a rifle and forced to adjust to the stock length. I have several World War II Vets and Korean War Vets that have told me that they actually hated shooting the M1 Garand and the BAR rifles. All of those individuals were under 5’6″ and it was pretty obvious to me as to why they didn’t like it. They claimed that they couldn’t hit a darn thing with it, but anyone that is a firearm instructor knows that this is probable true.
Nobody starts a 7yr old kid out with a full size bolt action rifle and expects them to shoulder it, now that we have the M4 Carbine in service the stocks are adjustable. Not just body size, but the types of things you may be wearing like a vest, armor ect can affect LOP. Magpul Stocks and Accessories are our number one selling stock accessories and and everything from trigger guards to gun grips can be customized. Body sizes and preferences mean a world of a difference for an operator to become proficient.
